One More Night
Phil Collins - One More Night Lyrics

One more night
The singer wants one more night with their loved one

One more night
The repetition emphasizes the singer's desire for one more night

I've been trying, ooh, so long to let you know
The singer has been trying to communicate their feelings to their loved one for a long time

Let you know how I feel
The artist wants to express their feelings to their loved one

And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back
The artist wants their loved one to support them when they make mistakes

So I can make you see
The singer wants to make their feelings clear to their loved one

Please give me one more night
The singer is pleading for one more night with their loved one

Give me one more night
Reinforcement of the artist's plea for one more night

'cause I can't wait forever
The artist is afraid of losing their chance to be with their loved one

Give me just one more night, ooh, just one more night
The artist is desperate for just one more night with their loved one

I've been sitting here so long
The singer has been waiting for their loved one for a long time

Wasting time, just staring at the phone
The artist has been waiting by the phone for their loved one to call

And I was wondering should I call you
The singer is unsure if they should make the first move and call their loved one

Then I thought maybe you're not alone
The singer thinks their loved one may be with someone else

Like a river to the sea
The singer will always be there for their loved one

I will always be with you
The artist promises to be there for their loved one

And if you sail away
The artist acknowledges that their loved one may leave

I will follow you
The singer promises to follow their loved one if they leave

I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
The singer knows their loved one may not feel the same way

And I know it's only words
The artist's words may not be enough to change their loved one's feelings

But if you change your mind, you know that I'll be here
The artist will still be there for their loved one if their feelings change

And maybe we both can learn
The artist hopes that they and their loved one can learn from each other
