ONLY ONE TO A CUSTOMER
(Carolyn Leigh / Jule Styne)


Frank Sinatra - 1986



Only one to a customer, only one
One crack at paradise next to none
Here am I riding high on a miracle come full blown
Holding tight to a night like I've never known

Because there's only one kind of wonderful I still prize
You and that smile I see in your eyes
You'll never know the feeling until you've spent your life in line
Only one to a customer and this time I got mine

(Instrumental Break)

Only one to a customer, rarely two
But when you've got that dream, one will do
Why despair at the bare possibility luck has flown
Stick around, stand your ground till the cards are shown

Because there's only one way they won't come up all aces high
That's if you let the deal pass you by
Somebody up there bottled the thrill and like the rarest wine
If it's one to a customer, I say just fine
Only one to a customer and this one, this little bird is mine
