One By One

Roy Drusky · Loves Eternal Triangle (w Priscilla Mitchell) (Mer [1965]

(Johnny Wright - Jack Anglin - Jim Anglin)



One by one we broke each vow we made

(It was you who lied it was me who paid)

As sure as there's a heaven beyond the sun

We'll pay for our lies one by one.



My plans and hopes have tumbled down

My castle of dreams plunged to the ground

(How can you face me after what you've done

You've shattered my dreams one by one.)



One by one we broke each vow we made

(It was you who lied it was me who paid)

As sure as there's a heaven beyond the sun

We'll pay for our lies one by one.



--- Instrumental ---



How can you go to sleep at night

Don't ole mem'ries make you long for daylight

(You'll pay the price after having your fun

You'll regret each mistake one by one.)



One by one we broke each vow we made

(It was you who lied it was me who paid)

As sure as there's a heaven beyond the sun

We'll pay for our lies one by one...
