Lyrics
One More Night Music by Mark Segal Lyrics by Mary Ott
Copyright 2001
All it takes is one false move to peel the years away,
No one heart can understand, or can stand to stay
So she cries, One More Night.
Yes, she cries, ya know she might.
Verse:
She looks in the mirror,
Searchin? for something she knows.
The face staring back at her,
Is lined with the years and the blows.
So she cries, One More Night,
Yes, she cries, ya know she might.
Bridge:
Midnight?s just about an hour away,
Life on this planet another day,
Strange new discoveries and mundane tasks,
Seek expression through the mask.
Verse:
She?s got no one to turn to,
She?s used up all her friends.
Too many years of sad tales,
And where does it end.
So she cries, One More Night.
Yes, she cries, ya know she might.
