A song that can be used by a performer to effect fans. Yeah, the target fans are aroused to consider a One Night Stand something special that might even lead to something more...
Not all loves last forever... People meet and frequently only hope that a lasting love will materialize. This is an honest man's way to tell his potential lady that theirs might be a One Night Stand.
*** ONE NIGHT ***
You’re not my ‘Life’,
Not my ‘Everything’,
You’re just you...
You’re not my ‘Wife’,
Not my ‘Forever Thing’
But, you’ll do...
If you think that we might
Help ‘Each Other’ through,
We’ll share one night,
We’ll make it right;
Then, maybe, two...
I’m not your ‘Love’,
Not your ‘Devotion’,
I’m just me...
Not ‘From Above’,
Not your ‘Whole Ocean’,
At best, a sea...
Although ours is not
A common ‘Destiny’,
We’ll share one night,
We’ll make it right;
Then, maybe, three...
You’re not my ‘Wealth’,
I’m not your ‘Treasure’,
We’re both just poor...
We’ll toast our health,
We’ll drink our pleasure,
Hearts won’t get tore...
While our ships lie on the harbor,
We’ll share the shore...
We’ll have one night,
We’ll make it right;
Then, maybe, more...
Then...maybe...more...
