Lyrics

I found myself headed west to Cheyenne, hadn't been there in years
Not since that night I walked out, leaving her in tears.
I don't know why I decided after all these years to look her up
Maybe I realized she's the only one I ever loved
I remember, that night she held onto me like she'd never let go
She told me that she loved me more than I'd ever know
She asked me if there was another and I honestly said "No"
I told her, "You're the only one I've ever loved, you're the only one, the only one."
I was young then, didn't know myself, didn't know how much I cared
She was perfect but I felt worthless and scared.
I left for no good reason, always felt bad, but never called or wrote
She didn't know how to tell me I'd be a dad
I remember, that night she held onto me like she'd never let go
She told me that she loved me more than I'd ever know
She asked me if there was another and I honestly said "No"
She told me, "You're the only one I've ever loved, you're the only one, the only one."
When I got to Cheyenne she answered the door with tears in her eyes
Then it hit me she'd been waiting years for this night
She kissed me and asked me what changed, why I made the trip here
And I said "honestly , I think I finally grew up after all these years."
That night I held onto her like I'd never let go
I told her that I loved her more than she'd ever know
I asked her if there was another, and she honestly said "no"
She told me, "You're the only one I've ever loved.
You're the only one, the only one."
