One More Night

Phil Collins · Love Songs - A Compilation... Old And New [2004]

Instrumental intro



I've been trying for so long, to let you know,

let you know how I feel

So if I stumble and if I fall, just 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, 'cos I can't wait forever



Please give me one more night,

just give me that one more night

Oh one more night,

'cos I can't wait forever



I've been sitting here so long, just wasting time,

just staring at the phone

And always wondering, should I call you,

then I thought, but maybe you're not alone



Oh please give me one more night,

just give me that one more night

One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever

Please give me one more night,

just give me that one more night

One more night, 'cos I can't wait forever

Just give me one more night,

give me that one more night

Just one more night,

'cos I can't wait forever



Like a river to the sea,

I will always be with you

And if you sailed away

I would follow you

To give me one more night,

just give me that one more night

One more night,

'cos 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

But if you change your mind,

you know that I'll be here

And maybe we both can learn



Ah give me just one more night,

give me that one more night

Just one more night,

'cos I can't wait forever

Just give me one more night,

oh give me that one more night

Just one more night,

'cos I can't wait forever
