Midnight Blue
Shirley Bassey · Other Songs - Shirley Bassey
Haven't we both got better things to do?
Midnight Blue.
Even though simple things become rough.
Haven't we had enough?
And I think we can make it
One more time
If we try
One more time for all the old times.
For all of the times you told me you need me.
Needing me now is something I could use.
Midnight Blue.
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend?
Maybe it's not the end.
And I think we can make it
One more time
If we try
One more time for all the old times.
Wouldn't you give your heart to a friend?
Think of me as your friend
I think we can make it
If we try,
Looks like we can make it
If we try
Midnight Blue
