Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

One Thing Left Lyrics

Richard Marx

My life is one big smile
As I cross off the things on my list
The splendor goes on for miles
I don't know what could be left to wish

I'm just living the dream
I do all right if you know what I mean

Chorus:
And I've closed the door
And locked it tight
And turned off every single light
Another perfect day is all but through
Now me getting over you
Is the one thing left to do

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The whole world has gone insane
The paper says so every day
And I can always feel the rain
Even when the sun's in the way

Yeah just living the dream
I wish my eyes could forget what they've seen

Chorus:
I've closed the door
And locked it tight
And turned off every single light
And walked away just like you asked me to
Now me getting over you
Is the one thing left to do

Yeah I know that it's me who's not well
But there's no one but you I can tell

Chorus:
As I close the door
And lock it tight
And turn off every single light
And walk away just like you asked me to
But me getting over you
Is the one thing left to do

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Is the one thing left to do
