Queen for a Night
Casey Donahew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If all you wanna do is burn a little moonlight
Be my little temporary angel, diamond star spangled
Who needs someone to hold you tight
You know I'd love to be the one you always run to
But if you only want me once in a blue moon
You can tell me baby it's alright
If you just wanna be queen for a night
I know we just met tonight so I don't wanna jump the gun
But you're letting me spin you around
Like you might be the one
I don't know the book on you but I'd like to turn every page
Or maybe we could write our own love story but it's ok
If you just wanna be queen for a night
If all you wanna do is burn a little moonlight
Be my little temporary angel, diamond star spangled
Who needs someone to hold you tight
You know I'd love to be the one you always run to
But if you only want me once in a blue moon
You can tell me baby it's alright
If you just wanna be queen for a night
You can have whatever you want, baby long as you're with me
I'm gonna roll out the red carpet for ya and treat you like royalty
If you just wanna be queen for a night
If all you wanna do is burn a little moonlight
Be my little temporary angel, diamond star spangled
Who needs someone to hold you tight
You know I'd love to be the one you always run to
But if you only want me once in a blue moon
You can tell me baby it's alright
If you just wanna be queen for a night
"Queen for a Night" by Casey Donahew is a love song that tells the story of a guy who is willing to grant the wishes of the girl he just met for just one night. The song starts by offering the girl a chance to be queen for a night, which means she can have whatever she wants, and the guy will treat her like royalty. He doesn't mind that it might be a one-time thing; he just wants to make her happy for the night. The lyrics show how the guy is ready to make the girl feel special and give her the attention she deserves.
The chorus repeats the lines "If you just wanna be queen for a night / If all you wanna do is burn a little moonlight / Be my little temporary angel, diamond star spangled / Who needs someone to hold you tight." Here, the guy continues to reassure the girl that he's okay with whatever she wants, and he will be there to make it happen for her, even if it's only for one night. He acknowledges that the girl may not be looking for a committed relationship, but he is willing to be there for her when she needs it.
In the last verse, the guy promises to give the girl the red carpet treatment and make her feel like she's the only person in the world. He leaves the offer open-ended, hoping that the girl will take him up on his offer and be with him, even if it's only for one night. The song ends on a sweet note, with the guy singing, "If you just wanna be queen for a night."
Overall, the song is a sweet and romantic ode to the idea of living in the moment and being present with someone, even if it's only for a short time.
