Lyrics

Let me hold you tight
If only for one night
Let me keep you near
To ease away your fears
It would be so nice
If only for one night
I won't tell a soul
No one has to know
If you want to be
Totally discrete
I'll be at your side
If only for one night
Yeah, ay
If only for one night
Your eyes say things I never hear from you
And my knees are shaking too
But I'm willing, willing to go through
I must be crazy standing in this place
While I'm feeling all disgrace for asking
Let me hold you tight
If only for one night
Let me keep you near
To ease away your fears
It would be so nice
If only for one night
Yeah
If only for one night
I'll tell you what I need
(One night, one night, whoa)
One, and whoa
(To you)
What I need is
(One night, one night, whoa)
One night, one night of your love
(To me)
I'm asking, let me take you home
To keep you safe and warm
'Til the early dawn
Closer to the sun
It would be so nice
If only for one night
Yeah
If only for one night
Ooh, yeah, yeah, hey
If only for one night
Ooh, ooh, hey
If only for one night, night, night, night
One night
If only for one night
