Lyrics

One Night Stand ©(26/11/2020)

1
He stood out from the other boys; I danced him for a dare
So my friends could see
Out of reach, untouchable, completely unaware
He was my, destiny
We just lost control; never heard the band
Knew I'd danced my last, "One night stand!"

Ch
Loves more precious than the poses
Sheltering from the wind and rain
He showers me with roses
I want to be with him again

2
Walking out by moonlight, something in the air
We Didn't feel the chill
Lost in each other's eyes, could be anywhere
Kissed as time stood still
We just lost control, future had it planned
I can see his ring on my hand

Ch.
Loves more precious than the poses
Sheltering from the wind and rain
He showers me with roses
I want to be with him again

Br
For Cupid's dart, flew straight through my heart
I've never felt such perfect pain
I long to feel that pain again

We just lost control, now I understand
Why I danced my last "One night stand"

Ch.
Loves more precious than the poses
Sheltering from the wind and rain
He showers me with roses
I want to be with him again

Why I Danced, my last, one night stand!
Danced my last one night stand!

I can see his ring on my hand
Danced my last, "One night stand!"

There's a lot that works really well in the song. I think your verse lyrics are especially strong - conversational, and with good imagery. The players, arrangement and production values are all fine. Nice work!

A little bit of Shara McCloughlin. the voice is wonderful and all the instruments are in the right place.....
