One I Love

i'm going to see the one i love
i'm going to see the one i love
the one i love

she'll be asleep when i get there
yes, she'll be a'sleepin' but i won't care
when i get there

and on the way, i won't see nothin'
except the light up to the door
as i pass by, i'll turn it off
she don't need it anymore

i'm going to see the one i love
i'm going to see the one i love
the one i love

will she wake up when i touch her hair?
will she wake up when i touch her hair?
when i get there
no, she'll stay a'dreamin' and i will too
oh, she'll stay a'dreamin' and i will too
that's what we do

and on the way, i won't hear nothin'
except my steps upon the ground
where they're coming from, it's special
where they're going to
it's the most lovely sound
