This Could Take All Night
Nick Scotti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got something I've been keeping inside
And I want to share my secret
Want to share it tonight
And the moon outside is saying that the moment is right, right now
I've got a message coming straight from the heart
And I got so much I want to say
Hardly know where to start
Gonna wait 'til we're together all alone in the dark, oh
I'm gonna hold you
And when the time is right
I'm gonna show you just what's been on my mind
Waited for so long, it's so strong
I just can't hold back
You know that
CHORUS:
This could take all night
From sundown up to sunlight
And we won't stop until the daylight
'Cause this could take all night
Yeah this could take all night
There's no hurry we can take it slow
I'll take the time to show you everything you need to know
You'll see everything much better with the lights down low
Oh I'm gonna hold you
And when the time is right
I'm gonna show you just what's been on my mind
Waited for so long, it's so strong
I just can't hold back
You know that
CHORUS
Waited for so long, it's so strong
I just can't hold back
You know that
We got the whole night baby
To hold on tight
Let's take a long ride
We got the time
