[Verse 1]
You had glue on your fingers
And grass on your knees
You said, "When we grow up,
you'll still marry me"
I laughed at the carpet
At the blocks on the floor
You held out your pinky
Like a promise and more
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where life took you
Or what your hands have held
But I still remember
That little spell you spelled
[Chorus]
One day, one day
You said it so brave
One day, one day
Like a promise you made
If I see you again
I hope you're at ease
I hope you found someone
To love you like me
[Verse 2]
Maybe you drive past
The old chain-link fence
Maybe you forgot me
In all of the sense
But I kept your sentence
Like a note in my chest
A small kind of heaven
I never could dress
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need forever
To know what was true
Some tiny first longing
Still points back to you
[Chorus]
One day, one day
You said it so brave
One day, one day
Like a promise you made
If I see you again
I hope you're at ease
I hope you found someone
To love you like me
[Bridge]
If you're happy, I'm happy
That's the whole of my prayer
No matter the years now
I still wish you fair
And if we cross paths
Under some quiet sky
I'll smile like the first time
And let the old dream fly
[Final Chorus]
One day, one day
You said it so brave
One day, one day
I still hear your name
If I see you again
I'll hope you're at ease
I hope you found someone
To love you like me
One day, one day
Soft as a seed
One day, one day
You don't owe it to me
I hope you're well now
And wherever you be
I wish you the best
And I hope you see me
