The Netherlands: Esther Hart - One more night
Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2003 [2003]
A flame that never dies
Like a river that runs right through me
A river old and wise
A power that can't be stopped, oh no
If you're with the one you love
You'll never rise above being with the one you love
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Let me hold you now and please stay, one more night
There's a bright light that shines upon us
A light as old as time
And there's a flower that keeps on growing
As long as we two rhyme
A power that can't be stopped, oh no
If you're with the one you love
You'll never rise above being with the one you love
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Let me hold you now and please stay, one more night
Take my hand and I will lead the way
We're all in need of a brighter day
Take a stand and it'll be okay
You're all I need so don't delay
Come here and say, you're gonna stay
One more night, give me one more day
Now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Let me hold you now and please stay
One more night, give me one more day
Now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Let me hold you now and please stay, one more night
One more night
