ONE AWAY FROM ONE TOO MANY
(Ray Pennington)


Sammi Smith - 1985


Sittin' alone at a table
Starin' at the space where you should be
I find myself talkin' to your empty chair
Ordering drinks for two when there's no one with me

I'm one away from one to many heartaches
Very close now to the danger zone
I'm one away from one to many heartaches
And one away from two leaves one alone

(Instrumental Break)

From time to time I hear your voice
And then I realise that I'm alone
Sittin' in the shadow, callin' out your name
At the point of no return and I am not in control

I'm one away from one to many heartaches
Very close now to the danger zone
I'm one away from one to many heartaches
And one away from two leaves one alone

Well, I'm one away from one to many heartaches
And one away from two leaves one alone
