One More Try
Howard Carpendale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd been driving all night
smoked a cigarette
turned out the dash board lights and then I saw her.
Her eyes sent shivers running down my spine
the wind was singing through the telephone lines
She looked so much like you
she smiled the way you do
I was so alone.
She laughed a little wild like a crazy crazy child
a long long way from home.
And with a voice so clear she whispered in my ear:
One more dance in blue
One more night with you till the morning light.
One more dance in blue
I'll come back to you
it'll be alright.
And I'll be back for you after one more dance in blue.
Took her in my arms and I held her tight
magic in the way that we danced all night
can you feel it ?
She said: Take my hand
we can follow the light
burning like a fire in the dead of the night
can you feel it ?
She looked so much like you
she smiled the way you do
I was so alone.
She laughed a little wild like a crazy crazy child
a long long way from home.
And with a voice so clear she whispered in my ear:
One more dance in blue
One more night with you till the morning light.
One more dance in blue
I'll come back to you
it'll be alright.
And I'll be back for you after one more dance in blue.
One more dance in blue
One more night with you till the morning light.
One more dance in blue
I'll come back to you
it'll be alright.
And I'll be back for you after one more dance in blue.
Stopped to rest
I'd been driving all night
smoked a cigarette
turned out the dash board lights and then I saw her.
Her eyes sent shivers running down my spine
the wind was singing through the telephone lines
then I saw her.
The lyrics of Howard Carpendale's song "One More Try" tell the story of a man who is driving through the night, weary and alone. He takes a moment to stop and rest, and as he does, he notices a woman who looks strikingly similar to someone he knows. Her presence gives him a sense of comfort and familiarity. Despite their fleeting encounter, there is a strong connection between them, amplified by the magic and intensity of their dance together. The lyrics convey the yearning for one more moment with this woman, as if it can restore a sense of hope and reassurance in his life.
