Did I ever

Take you in my arms,
Look you in the eye,
Tell you that I do?
Did I ever
Open up my heart
And let you look inside?

If I never did it,
I was only waiting
For a better moment
That didnt come.
There never could be
A better moment
Than this one,
This one.

The swan is gliding
Above the ocean,
A God is riding
Upon his back,
How calm the water
And bright the rainbow
Fade this one
To black.

Did I ever
Touch you on the cheek
Say that you were mine,
Thank you for the smile?
Did I ever
Knock upon your door
And try to get inside?

If I never did it,
I was only waiting
For a better moment
That didnt come.
There never could be
A better moment
Than this one,
This one.

What opportunities
Did we allow to flow by,
Feeling like the timing
Wasnt quite right?
What kind of magic
might have worked if we had stayed calm,
Couldnt I have given you
A better life?

Did you ever
Take me in your arms,
Look me in the eye,
Tell me that you do?
Did I ever
Open up my heart,
Let you look inside?

If I never did it,
I was only waiting
For a better moment
That didnt come.
There never could be
A better moment
Than this one,
This one.

Paul McCartney
"This One"
1989
