[00:14.94]We used to chase that boy home from school
[00:18.13]We called him freckle faced red headed fool
[00:21.16]He was different, he wasn't cool like me
[00:28.16]Sticks and stones didn't break any bones
[00:31.40]But we never left well enough alone
[00:34.54]One day he ran away from home you see
[00:42.26]And I passed him as he walked away
[00:48.63]And in his eyes I heard him say
[00:51.82]
[00:53.28]One of these days you're gonna love me
[00:59.76]You'll sit down by yourself and think
[01:06.50]Of all the times you pushed and shoved me
[01:12.98]And what good friends we might have been
[01:16.39]And then you're gonna sigh a little
[01:19.76]And maybe even cry a little
[01:22.74]But one of these days you're gonna love me
[01:26.59]
[01:39.64]Patty Sue was a small town beauty
[01:42.68]I took one look at her and had to pull her to me
[01:46.27]Lord knows she should have seen right through me
[01:49.47]When I promised her the world
[01:52.76]But at 17 you only want one thing
[01:56.10]I left her standing with my high school ring
[01:59.55]Innocent tears in a pourin' rain
[02:02.59]As I walked away
[02:06.75]And I still see her in my dreams
[02:13.47]And to this day she's whispering
[02:17.58]
[02:18.59]One of these days you're gonna love me
[02:25.07]You'll sit down by yourself and think
[02:31.80]About the time you turned from me
[02:38.52]And what good friends we might have been
[02:42.08]And then you're gonna sigh a little
[02:45.32]And maybe even cry a little
[02:47.80]But one of these days, you're gonna love me
[02:52.91]
[03:04.76]Now everybody stands up
[03:07.95]The congregation sings
[03:11.13]It's a song of sweet forgiveness
[03:14.37]And as the chorus rings
[03:17.71]The wind blows clear my memory
[03:21.38]The pages start to turn
[03:24.77]And suddenly I'm singing
[03:28.15]The moment that I learn
[03:30.48]
[03:34.64]One of these days I'm gonna love me
[03:41.22]And feel the joy of sweet release
[03:48.12]One of these days I'll rise above me
[03:54.39]And at last I'll find some peace
[03:58.41]And then I'm gonna smile a little
[04:01.44]And maybe even laugh a little
[04:04.27]But one of these days...
[04:12.32]I'm gonna love me
