One Night
Silver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could have danced all night
Could have danced all night
And still have begged for more

I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced, danced all night

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have danced some more

I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
That I've never done before

I'll never know what made it so, so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight




I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced, danced all night
