One Day Lyrics by Genesis

50 Years Ago

1969

[Verse 1]
Don't get me wrong, I think I'm in love
But the feeling in the word is more
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me
Don't get me wrong, open your eyes
Although I cannot show my heart
I'll watch and hope while you are near to me

[Chorus]
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

[Verse 2]
Birds of the sky, may I borrow your wings?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To travel with me to the world outside
Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To come inside the nest I'll build alone

[Chorus]
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

[Verse 3]
Animal friends, help me decide
When should I ask my love to leave?
I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me
Breathe in deep, now is the time
She looks at me and gently smiles
As if she knew I'd ask her all the time

[Chorus]
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you
For you, for you
