One Of These Things First
 I could have been a sailor, I could have been a cook
 A real live lover, could have been a book
 I could have been a signpost, I could have been a clock
 As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock

 I could be here and now
 I would be, I should be
 But how?
 I could have been
 One of these things first
 (One of these things first)

 I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
 I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more
 Could have been your statue, I could have been your friend
 A whole long lifetime could have been the end

 I could have been yours so true
 I would be, I should be through and through
 I could have been
 One of these things first
