[Verse 1:]
A million to one
That’s what our folks say about this love of ours
A million to one
They’re saying our love will fade like yesterday’s flowers
They’re betting everything
That our love won’t survive
They’re hoping in time we’ll forget each other’s lives
[Verse 2:]
A million to one
Maybe were too young to know
The meaning of love
A million to one
That they’ve forgotten the dreams
That we’re dreaming of
[Chorus:]
But we’ll forgive them because we love them
After all that’s said and done
There’s one in a million
A million to one
But we’ll forgive them
Because we love them
After all that’s said and done
The one in a million
A million to one
A Million To One was written by Phil Medley.
