Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'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 see
Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I can't wait forever
Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever
I'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 alone
Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
I 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 learn
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

One more night, one more night
I desperately want to spend another night with you
I've been trying ooh so long to let you know
I've been making endless efforts to express my feelings to you
Let you know how I feel
To make you aware of the depth of my emotions
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
If I make mistakes or encounter obstacles, please support and guide me
So I can make you see
So I can make you understand and realize my love
Please give me one more night, give me one more night
Please grant me the opportunity to have another night together
One more night 'cos I can't wait forever
I can't wait indefinitely, I need a chance now
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Just a single additional night is all I ask for
Oh one more night 'cos I can't wait forever
I can't endure an eternal wait, please consider my request
I've been sitting here so long
I have been waiting here for an extended period of time
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
Spending hours doing nothing but looking at my phone, hoping for your call
And I was wondering should I call you
I was unsure if I should make the first move and contact you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone
I considered the possibility that you may be with someone else
Like a river to the sea
I will always be there for you, just like a river flowing to the sea
I will always be with you
I promise to be by your side constantly
And if you sail away
If you choose to leave or distance yourself
I will follow you
I will chase after you, no matter where you go
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
I understand that you may never reciprocate my feelings
And I know it's only words
I am aware that these are just mere words
But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here
However, if you have a change of heart, I'll still be waiting for you
And maybe we both can learn
Perhaps, together, we can grow and discover
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Allow me to have one more night together, just one
Ooh one more night 'cos I can't wait forever
Because I can't bear an indefinite wait, please consider my plea
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Just one more night is all I ask for, please
Ooh one more night 'cos I can't wait forever
I can't endure waiting indefinitely, so please contemplate my request
