Only Takes One Lyrics by Silk

Quiet Storm

2016

Listen!

[Verse 1]
I got you down to talk to you
To tell you what's been weighing on my mind heavily
No, there's nothing wrong, just want a few
Moments to express what you and I mean to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Trynna hold back tears
'Cause I gotta make this clear
Wrote what I wanted to say on this piece of paper
Here goes

[Chorus]
It takes an army of thousands to win a war
But it takes nothing from me to love you more
Darling, I'm glad that you are mine
It takes a million men to find a sea of pearls
Billions of people to complete the world
But it only takes one, only takes one to complete mine

[Verse 1]
From this day on I pray that you
Stay the most important part of life
To me, to me
Every time that you go away from me
My heart is filled with anticipation exceedingly

[Pre-Chorus]
Trynna hold back tears
'Cause I gotta make this clear
Wrote what I wanted to say on this piece of paper
Here it goes

[Chorus]
It takes an army of thousands to win a war
But it takes nothing from me to love you more
Darling, I'm glad that you are mine
It takes a million men to find a sea of pearls
Billions of people to complete the world
But it only takes one, only takes one to complete mine

[Bridge]
You're the one
That keeps my world turning
And I, I'm done
'Cause we keep on working
And the reason I'm still here
Is 'cause of you!

[Chorus]
It takes an army of thousands to win a war
But it takes nothing from me to love you more
Darling, I'm glad that you are mine
It takes a million men to find a sea of pearls
Billions of people to complete the world
But it only takes one, only takes one to complete mine
