One By One  - Woody Guthrie


    One by one the teardrops fall as I write to you
    One by one my words come falling on the page
    One by one my dreams are fading in the twilight
    One by one my schemes are failing fast away

    One by one the flowers fade here in my garden
    One by one the leaves are falling from the trees
    One by one my hopes are vanished in the clouds dear
    One by one like snowflakes melting in the breeze

    One by one my hair is turning grey
    One by one my dreams are fading fast away
    One by one I ready your letters over
    One by one I lay them all away

    One by one the days are slipping up behind you
    One by one the sweetest days of life go by
    One by one the moments stealing up behind you
    One by one she'll come and find not you or I

    One by one I hear the soft words that you whispered
    One by one I feel your kisses soft and sweet
    One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry
    One by one to one by one forever be
