One Day
Eric Clapton · Back Home [1978]
I believe
One day
I can see
Baby
Out in the country, maybe down by the sea
Will I wake up one morning and find that I've been set free
One day
One day
Some day
I can't say how
Some day
But I don't know now
Maybe tomorrow when I'm old and gray
What I ever wanted will finally come my way
One day
One day
One day
This dream will come true
One day
Maybe you will too
Maybe flying high, maybe close to the ground
I will hear your voice and I'll know I've been found
Hold me tight, baby make me stay
I can hear every word you've been trying to say
One day
One day
One Day - Eric Clapton
Recorded on Eric Clapton's 1978 album Back Home, 'One Day' stands as a poignant addition to his extensive catalogue of blues-infused rock. The track exemplifies Clapton's signature vocal delivery and guitar work, blending the raw emotion characteristic of his solo career with the polished production of the late 70s. While often associated with his earlier work in Cream or the Yardbirds, this recording reflects a matured artist exploring themes of longing and reflection. The song complements other notable tracks from the era, such as 'Tears in Heaven' and 'Layla', showcasing Clapton's enduring ability to craft emotionally resonant music that bridges the gap between traditional blues roots and contemporary rock sensibilities.
