This One's For You (Mary) Lyrics

Mary lives in a one-horse town, and everyone's dying to meet her

But when the lights go low and she's laying alone, she looks for one true love to complete her

When she heard of the songs I play, she wondered if maybe someday I could write her a new song for her to sing along to

Oh, this one's for you, Mary, can you feel me coming through

I told you all along that I'd write this song, it's true

Oh, this one's for you

Walking alone in Central Park, Mary learned she's afraid of the dark

Her mind's on the stairs, but her heart's at home

She plays the music to feel alone, and when she hears a guitar it carries her away

She wants to be someone someday, and when her big blue eyes, look at me that way

I just wanna say

Oh, this one's for you, Mary, can you feel me coming through

And when I heard you say that you want me to play it too, oh, this one's for you

Oh, Mary, don't go acting foolish

The lights will shine on for a while

And Mary, while you sleep, this secret you could keep, I'd write a new song for a smile

For a smile

Oh, this one's for you, Mary, can you feel me coming through

I told you all along that I'd write this song, it's true

Oh, this one's for you, Mary, can you feel me coming through

And when I heard you say that you want me to play it too, oh, this one's for you

This one's for you

Oh, Mary, this one's for you

This one's for you
