One Night
Barry Gibb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
on a dream that I can hold you near.
Will the message in your eyes
take shape and crystalize?
Or will you disappear?
That feeling when you sigh.
I could not want you more.
And you know it's where we are.
And the moment I have waited for.
The rhythm of the turning tide,
and every star that shines in harmony,
like the fairy tale you read,
like the only heart you need,
is here inside of me.
And we are held in time.
Your love lost in mine.
There is no yesterday.
Just the music on the bay.
We can lie together.
Make forever..
One night for lovers.
Kiss your lover tonight.
On a night like this you lie awake,
and no one can tell you why
you fall in love, and love takes over
with no goodbye.
I'm dancing in your arms.
Tonight I'd give my life for you
if you were...
Mia, no te voy a hacer llorar. (Mine, I won't make you cry)
Dime lo que quieres, mi amor (Tell me what you want, my love)
It's the way it has to be.
If I get you close to me
I will not let you go.
Say you'll be in my arms.
Don't make me wait so long.
Ah, love me with your lips.
Touch me with your touch.
Fill me up with one anticipation.
One night for lovers.
Kiss your lover tonight.
On a night like this you lie awake
and no one can tell you why
you fall in love and love takes over
and there is no goodbye.
I'm dancing in your arms
and I'm close enough to know,
you make me yours,
and you,
you're mine.
You're mine.
And the wonder of it all,
when tomorrow comes, I call you mine.
I'm the promise you fulfill.
In a lifetime you will still be mine.

I send you down my love tonight
I am sending my love to you tonight
on a dream that I can hold you near.
I am dreaming of holding you close to me
Will the message in your eyes
I wonder if your eyes will reveal
take shape and crystalize?
what you truly feel and if it will become clear
Or will you disappear?
Or will you fade away?
That feeling when you sigh.
I feel that deep sigh within me
I could not want you more.
I couldn't possibly desire you more than I already do
Ah, so close and yet so far.
We are so near, yet still so far apart
And you know it's where we are.
And we both understand that is our current position
And the moment I have waited for.
And yet, this is the moment I have awaited eagerly
The rhythm of the turning tide,
The beat of the shifting ocean waves,
and every star that shines in harmony,
and the whole of the starry night sky in unison
like the fairy tale you read,
All of this seems like a fairytale from a book
like the only heart you need,
They are meaningless without you
is here inside of me.
Because everything you mean to me is truly here within me
And we are held in time.
And we are both paused in this moment
Your love lost in mine.
Our love is completely absorbed into each other.
There is no yesterday.
There is no looking back on our pasts
Just the music on the bay.
Just the sweet, sweet melody around us
We can lie together.
We can rest beside each other
Make forever..
And make these feelings last an eternity
One night for lovers.
One magical chance for lovers
Kiss your lover tonight.
Embrace your lover with a kiss tonight
On a night like this you lie awake,
On a night like tonight, you stay awake
and no one can tell you why
It is impossible for anyone to explain why
you fall in love, and love takes over
You just know when love takes full control of you
with no goodbye.
And it lasts without ever wanting to say goodbye
I'm dancing in your arms.
I'm swaying in your loving arms
Tonight I'd give my life for you
Tonight, I am willing to sacrifice anything for your love
if you were...
If only you were here with me right now...
Mia, no te voy a hacer llorar.
Mia, I won't make you cry
Dime lo que quieres, mi amor
Tell me what it is that you desire, my love
It's the way it has to be.
Things must remain as they are
If I get you close to me
Once I have you close to me
I will not let you go.
I won't ever let you slip away
Say you'll be in my arms.
Promise that you will stay in my loving arms
Don't make me wait so long.
Please don't let me wait for too long
Ah, love me with your lips.
Show me love with your kiss
Touch me with your touch.
Give me feeling with your touch
Fill me up with one anticipation.
Make me full of passionate anticipation and excitement.
One night for lovers.
This is just one night where we are lovers.
Kiss your lover tonight.
Embrace your lover with a kiss tonight
On a night like this you lie awake
On a night like tonight, you stay awake
and no one can tell you why
It is impossible for anyone to explain why
you fall in love and love takes over
You just know when love takes full control of you
and there is no goodbye.
And it lasts without ever wanting to say goodbye
I'm dancing in your arms
I'm swaying in your loving arms
and I'm close enough to know,
And I am close enough to sense
you make me yours,
That you have complete possession over me
and you,
And you have become my world
you're mine.
And you belong to me, forevermore
And the wonder of it all,
And the beauty of it all,
when tomorrow comes, I call you mine.
When the new day arrives, I can confidently say that you are mine
I'm the promise you fulfill.
I am the promise that you have kept
In a lifetime you will still be mine.
Even after a lifetime, you will still be mine

The Gibb Brothers are the best vocalists & song writers in music history, no one can match these guys !

@Marc Danly The Beatles SUCK....the Bee Gees are by far BETTER!!!!
Spud Johnsonn
@Marc Danly Right, they fizzled out like a soda that lost its fizz! The Beatles were average vocalists, to say the least. They messed around with backmasking & are a bunch of Satanists, John got 5 in the back, karma is a bitch.
Marc Danly
Wrong, the Beatles are, sorry.
