Once Upon a Time In America
N. Gimbel Lyrics

Can you give me just one last chance
I am pleading for a final opportunity to reconnect and make things right.

I wanna dance with you until the night ends
I desire to share an intimate moment with you, enjoying our time together until the very end.

I've waited so long just for this romance
I've been patient and longing for this special romantic moment with you.

And if you want to, I'll be here let's finish this dance
If you agree, I am ready and present to continue this beautiful experience together.

I don't really mind at all if you think I'm going insane
Your judgment of my emotional state doesn't bother me; I'm focused on my feelings for you.

Bust my way around the city, just to find out where you'll stay
I am determined to navigate through the city in search of where you might be.

It's a hotel, that I can't afford
I realize that the place you're staying is beyond my financial reach, symbolizing my desire for you.

If I can't make it in I'll be by the doors
If I'm unable to enter your world, I will wait patiently by the entryway, still hoping.

And I can't go back I'll have to stay
There's no turning back for me; I must remain here with my feelings.

Waiting alone throughout the day
I find myself in solitude, anxiously awaiting your response or presence.

And it's probably just easier
Perhaps it would be simpler if I chose to walk away from this situation.

If I drive away down the Boulevard
I contemplate leaving my current location by driving through familiar streets.

Our night time would have got so long
The moments we could share could extend into something beautifully prolonged.

Don't be tired so soon the party's just begun
I urge you not to lose interest or energy; there’s still so much joy to experience.

But I'm so obsessed don't get me wrong
I've become infatuated with you, and I want to clarify that it's a deep but genuine attraction.

You're unforgettable with your stockings on
Your presence and the way you carry yourself leave a lasting impression on my mind.

And I'm just passable with my best suit on
While I may look my best, I feel somewhat mediocre compared to your brilliance.

I should stay in line or I'll just move along
I need to be patient and remain composed, or I risk losing my place or connection with you.

I'm so lonely here, should I let you know?
Feeling isolated, I ponder whether I should express my emotions to you.

Looking in the mirror, with some other girls
As I gaze at myself, surrounded by others, I reflect on my feelings of longing for you.

I don't wanna get too emotional
I try to keep my feelings in check, wanting to avoid overwhelming myself.

But my feelings here, only heaven knows
The depth of my emotions is understood only by a higher power; they are profound and complex.

Can you hear my words, am I confessing wrong
I wonder if my feelings are being communicated effectively or if I'm misinterpreting your responses.

Do you see me now, standing in the crowd
Amidst everyone else, I hope you notice me and realize my longing for connection.

If I didn't know that you would end me here
I'm aware that my emotional safety lies in your hands, which makes my presence here daunting.

Then I probably wouldn't have come
Had I not understood the risks, I may have chosen not to engage with you at all.

But we promise to each other when we were in love
We made vows to each other during our love, emphasizing our commitment.

We'd come together with no one else there and it's just us
We envisioned a future where it would be solely the two of us, undisturbed by the world.

But now I'm thinking alone at the table its too much
Sitting in solitude, I am overwhelmed by my thoughts and emotions, far from that dream.

My brain is telling me to go and fix what I messed up
My mind urges me to correct the past mistakes I've made in our relationship.

So can you give me just one last chance
I'm asking once more for an opportunity to rectify things between us.

I wanna dance with you until the night ends
I wish to enjoy your company intimately for the duration of the evening.

I've waited so long just for this romance
This moment has been a long time coming, filled with anticipation and longing.

And if you want to, I'll be here let's finish this dance
I am ready and present for us to complete this enchanting experience together.

Can you give me just one last chance
Once again, I’m hoping for a final opportunity to mend what has been broken.

I wanna dance with you until the night ends
I yearn to share this dance with you, savoring every moment together.

I've waited so long just for this romance
I have endured a long wait in pursuit of this fleeting yet meaningful love.

And if you want to, I'll be here let's finish this dance
If you desire to continue, I am here to embrace the remaining moments of our night.

Will we really dance again
I question whether we will ever share these moments together once more.

I'm so lonely here, should I let you know?
The isolation weighs heavily on me, and I wonder if I should express this to you.

Looking in the mirror, with some other girls
I find myself surrounded by others yet feeling disconnected, longing for your presence.

I don't wanna get too emotional
I make an effort to keep my feelings from overflowing and becoming overwhelming.

But my feelings here, only heaven knows
Deep inside, my emotions are profound and known only to a higher power.

Can you hear my words, am I confessing wrong
I’m uncertain if I'm expressing my feelings correctly or if I'm missing the mark.

Do you see me now, standing in the crowd
Amidst the throng of people, I hope you recognize me and sense my yearning.

If I didn't know that you would end me here
Knowing the vulnerability of my feelings towards you makes this encounter precarious.

Then I probably wouldn't have come
If I hadn't grasped the emotional risks, I might have chosen not to seek you out.

But we promise to each other when we were in love
In our moments of affection, we made promises that felt significant and binding.

We'd come together with no one else there and it's just us
We envisioned a time when it would simply be the two of us, undisturbed by external influences.

But now I'm thinking alone at the table its too much
Reflecting on my solitude at this table is overwhelming and filled with regret.

My brain is telling me to go and fix what I messed up
My thoughts are urging me to take action and mend the mistakes that have arisen.

So can you give me just one last chance
Once again, I beseech you for a final opportunity to reconcile and reconnect with you.

I wanna dance with you until the night ends
I long to share this joy of dancing with you, savoring each fleeting moment until darkness calls.

I've waited so long just for this romance
This moment feels significant, a culmination of my enduring hopes for our love.

And if you want to, I'll be here let's finish this dance
Should you wish to continue, I am here, eager to complete this intimate dance together.
