One Tonight

Chris LeDoux · Other Songs - Chris LeDoux

Girl, I recognize the smoke in your eyes



I've seen it in mine too



We both had been burned, hard lessons learned



From making some bad moves



We keep looking for the perfect time and place



Good things don't always come to those who wait



Sometimes you got to make your own fate



If there ever was a moment that felt so right



This is one tonight



If there ever was a reason to hold on tight



This is one tonight



We've been beatin' 'round the bush



We've been bidin' our time



We've been searching the skies



For a heavenly sign



But if you're looking for a love



That's the keepin' kind



This one tonight



I've spent too many nights



Wishing that I could say what I'm saying



Moments like this should be lost in a kiss



And not in debating



We got nothing to lose but precious time



Sooner or later gotta lay it on the line



Roll the dice and put your hand in mine



If there ever was a moment that felt so right



This is one tonight



If there ever was a reason to hold on tight



This is one tonight



We've been beatin' 'round the bush



We've been bidin' our time



We've been searching the skies



For a heavenly sign



But if you're looking for a love



That's the keepin' kind



This is one tonight



We've been beatin' 'round the bush



We've been bidin' our time



We've been searching the skies



For a heavenly sign



But if you're looking for a love



That's the keepin' kind



This is one tonight, this is one tonight
