Joy Williams and John Paul White of The Civil Wars wrote this song in the studio behind Williams' Nashville house on a warm summer day with the windows and doors open. She explained that it “is a sweet lament, of loss and the belief that you’ll never be able to love anybody else again.”
The song was...
[Verse 1: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
D’Arline, hope this finds you well
There’s so much I’m dying to tell, but, oh
That’s how it goes
Little things left unsaid
That I can’t keep in my head, but, oh
Just so you know
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
You’ll always be the only one
Always be the only one
[Verse 2: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
D’Arline, what do I do now?
Can’t live with you or without, but, oh
That’s how it goes
Oh, I could get over you
But please don’t ask me to
Just so you know
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
You’ll always be the only one
Even when you’re not
You’ll always be the only one
Even when you’re gone
[Bridge: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
You always said you want me to be happy
But happiness was having you here with me
You’ll always be the one that’s standing in my way
And that’s okay
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Always be the only one
I’ll always be the only one
[Outro: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
D’Arline, if I only knew
