The One that I Love was the Maltese entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham performed by Chiara Siracusa. It was Chiara's first entry out of three and was one of Malta's few non-winning successes in the late 90s and early 00s.
The song is about Chiara saying how much she says she is in love with her partner, getting more definite as the song goes on.
It was performed 10th on the night following Germany and preceding Hungary. At the close of voting, it finished in 3rd place with 165 points, losing the lead in the final round of voting.
The song is also in Maltese, namely "Lilek Inħobb".
Lyrics[]
Such a lovely night, when the stars are shining bright
And you're near, we're all alone, 'cause I long for you so much
I never felt this way, not before
You turn on my mind more and more
I think that I'm in love and you mean so much to me
I think I love you so, I'll never let you go
This must be love
Up there we seem to flow, I'm certain and now I know
For me, yes, you're just the one
The one that I love
Such a lovely sight, when the colours shine so bright
And you're near, we're all alone, and I feel so warm inside
I never felt this way all my life
You came like spring sunshine, gave me life
I think that I'm in love and you mean so much to me
I think I love you so, I'll never let you go
This must be love
Up there we seem to flow, I'm certain and now I know
For me, yes, you're just the one
The one that I love
For me, yes, you're just the one
The one that I love[1]
