A Night Like This
Caro Emerald Lyrics

From where you are
From your current location

You see the smoke start to arise
You notice the smoke beginning to rise

Where they play cards
At the location where people are gambling

And you walk over
You proceed to walk towards them

Softly moving passed the guards
You walk quietly past the security guards

The stakes are getting higher
The amounts of money being bet are increasing

You can feel it in your heart
You have a strong intuitive sense about the situation

He calls you bluff
He challenges the validity of your claims

He is the ace you never thought
He is the person who is unexpectedly skillful

He played that much
He bet a significant amount of money

And now it's more than all this cards
It has become about more than just the cards being played

You want to touch
You feel a strong desire to win

You never know if winning this
You are uncertain if winning will be enough

Could really be enough
Would truly satisfy you

Take a look
Observe

Beyond the moon
Farther than the moon

You see the stars
You view the beauty of the stars

And when you look around
As you survey your surroundings

You know the room by heart
You know the place like the back of your hand

I have never dreamed it
I never imagined this scenario

Have you ever dreamed a night like this
Have you ever imagined everything coming together in such a way

I cannot believe it
I find it hard to accept

I may never see a night like this
It's possible that another night like this will never come

When everything you think is incomplete
When every aspect you didn't know was missing gets filled up

Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek
Everything good starts to happen when you're as close as possible to someone else

Could you ever dream it
Could you have ever imagined such a situation happening?

How many times
How frequently

Have I been waiting by the door
I have been waiting by the entrance for an unspecified amount of times

To hear these chimes
To hear the sound of someone coming in

To hear that someone debonair has just a arrived
To hear a charismatic person has made an entrance

And opened up to see
And when they open up the door you can see everything

My world before my eyes
My world suddenly becomes vivid to me

That silhouette creates an image
That figure creates a striking image

On the night I can't forget
On one of the most memorable nights of my life

It has the scent of something special
It feels like something out of the ordinary is happening

I can't rest
I cannot relax

If I resist temptation
If I avoid doing what is enticing to me

Oh, I know for sure that I will lose the bet
I am certain that I will fail to resist temptation

I walk away and suddenly it seems
As I leave the room, something strange happens

I'm not alone
I realize that someone else is there with me

In front of me he stands
Suddenly, he is right in front of me

I stop, before he goes
I pause and prevent him from leaving
