One More Night
Lee Rocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But tonight I'm as lonesome as can be
Oh, the moon is shinin' bright
Lighting everything in sight
But tonight no light will shine on me
Oh, it's painful and it's sad I lost the only pal I had
I just couldn't be what she wanted me to be
But tonight no light will shine on me
I was so mistaken when I thought that she'd be true
I had no idea what a woman in love could do
One more night I'll wait for the light
While the wind is blowing high above the tree
Well, I miss my darling so, I didn't mean to let her go
But tonight no light will shine on me
I was so mistaken when I thought that she'd be true
I had no idea what a woman in love could do
One more night, the stars all in sight
But tonight I'm as lonesome as can be
Oh, the moon is shinin' bright
Lighting everything in sight
But tonight no light will shine on me
But tonight no light will shine on me
In Lee Rocker's song "One More Night," the lyrics reflect the heartfelt pain and regret that one experiences after losing a loved one. The singer in the song is deeply saddened by the loss of his partner, and he is left feeling lonely and isolated despite the natural beauty of the stars and the moon. He remembers the good times they had together, but he is also aware that he could not be what she wanted him to be. He tries to look up at the sky and find solace but finds that the darkness mirrors the emptiness he feels inside.
The song touches on the theme of unrequited love and the harsh reality that sometimes, people cannot live up to each other's expectations. The singer in the song was mistaken in believing that his partner would remain true to him, and the pain of her leaving has left him feeling alone and abandoned. The song's chorus reinforces this idea that no matter how beautiful the surrounding world can be, it cannot make up for the loss of a loved one.
Overall, "One More Night" is a melancholic reflection on the pain of lost love and the difficulty of moving on from such heartbreak.
