Song facts
“My One And Only Love” is a 1952 song with music written by Guy Wood and lyrics by Robert Melling. It was recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1953, and by many other artists over the years including Doris Day, John Coltrane, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Rickie Lee Jones, Sonny Rollins, Oscar Peterson…
Paul McCartney recorded it in 2012. It was released as one of the bonus tracks of the “Kisses On The Bottom“ deluxe edition.
There’s one [song] that’s quite famous, particularly in jazz circles, called ‘My One And Only Love’, which I’d never heard, it had passed me by. But it’s beautifully crafted, one of my favourite songs now.
Paul McCartney
Paul did such a smashing job on ‘My One And Only Love’, I wanted to put it on the regular album. But, in the end, I felt 14 songs were more than than enough and, given the terrific balance, none of them deserved to be replaced. With about 49 minutes’ worth of music I figured, ‘To hell with it, we’ll just use these as bonus tracks,’ and Paul was in complete agreement.
Producer Tommy LiPuma, from an interview with Sound On Sound, May 2012

Lyrics
The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring,
And you appear in all your splendor,
My one and only love.
The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you're in my arms.
I feel your lips, so warm and tender,
My one and only love.
The touch of your hand is like heaven,
A heaven that I've never known.
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own.
You fill my eager heart with such desire.
Ev'ry kiss you give sets my soul on fire.
I give myself in sweet surrender,
My one and only love.
