Lyrics
One more night
One more nightI’ve been trying, ooh, so long
To let you know, let you know how I feel
And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you seePlease give me one more night
Give me one more night
One more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever
Give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait foreverI’ve been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you’re not alonePlease give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait foreverPlease give me one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever
Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait foreverLike a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow youGive me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait foreverI know there’ll never be a time you’ll ever feel the same
And I know it’s only words
But if you change your mind, you know that I’ll be here
And maybe we both can learnGive me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait foreverGive me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever
