One More Night
Paulinho Loureiro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One more night
One more night
One more night
Hmm
I've been trying for so long
To let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall
Help me back
So I can make you see
Please give me one more night
Give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, gimme that one more night
One more night 'cause I can't wait forever
I've been sitting here so long
Just wasting time, just staring at the phone
I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought, that maybe you're not alone
Please give me one more night, give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, gimme that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you'd said a word
I will follow you
Give me one more night, give me that one more night
One more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, give me that one more night
One more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
If you change your mind you know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn
Please give me one more night, give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, just give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever




One more night, give me that one more night
Oh one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
