Lyrics
THE ONLY ONE
Music & Lyrics by: Bill Dake
Copyright 2021; Bill Dake ASCAP
His family thinks he's crazy
A duck of odd persuasion
A man who'll seldom bend to a social trend
He won't pretend
A strange anachronism prone to claim a major schism
'Tween the way things were
And the way they just might end
Sometimes he questions his own sanity
Could it be
He remembered it all wrong?
Were those "Good old days" just fantasies
Played on bright marquees
Songs with melodies
Is he THE ONLY ONE
Who still recalls all the battles won
And won't retreat and watch his world undone...
Used to be the neighbors
Would often stop and chat the weather
Now he doesn't see them much at all
They never call
They've joined some congregation
A strict denomination
Of cloth covered faces
Kids and all
Perhaps they've forgotten all the lessons learned
Just lost sight
Of the light that guides us all
He'll pray that close harmonies
Will soon return
And set them free
And that he's not THE ONLY ONE
Who still recalls all the battles won
And won't retreat and watch this world undone
