When I saw you smile
I was happy at the time
Your face was shining in my mind
When you spoke to me
Softly warming my lonely heart
Your voice was echoing in my ears
You've gone away
Without a last goodbye
You are the One
Who has brought light to my life
When I drift to sleep
I miss you every night
Lead me, let me see you in my dreams
When I return to this place
Where you took me many times
I try to find feelings from those days
You told me once
Our love would never die
You are the One
Who taught me the meaning of true love
When I walk alone down here
I am holding a broken heart
I know time can't bring you back again
When I felt lost and small
You gently pulled me through
You were the anchor for my heart
To find my way
You led me with your grace
You are the One
Who has truly changed my life
I won't cry anymore
'cause you're always in my heart
And now I will carry your love as light
Your smile makes me happy in this life

The One
Sydney McCray
An intimate acoustic ballad where you can feel every breath. Featuring the beautiful vocals of Sydney McCray, a native English singer based in Japan.
This song is about the profound sorrow of suddenly losing an irreplaceable person in one's life, and the journey of healing.
Inspired by "THE FIRST TAKE," this song was created with a minimalist arrangement of just acoustic guitar and vocals to capture an intimate, one-room atmosphere as if she is singing right in front of you.
