From the recording Livin' It Up: Songs from the Write Across America Project
Lyrics
When two lovers say
“I’ll be there forever”
The end of time often comes too soon
When the “forever line”
Is too much of a cliché
Begging for some meaning redefined
When all the stories of a prince and princess
Are burning in my head
And all that really matters in the end is what you did, not what you said
What you said
Oh when you’ve given all that you got
And you’ve given more than you want
Maybe that’s the time, the time to reconsider why
Oh oh and when you’ve given love and then lost
And held on to a lost cause
Maybe that’s the time, the time to reconsider why
And give it just one more night
One more night
In the dark of night
I’m laying here by your side
Trying to start a fire that doesn’t wanna burn
Oh but in the dimming lights
Still hung up on each word
Who said it was okay
Who said it was okay just to wreck my peace of mind
Ohhh
When you’ve given all that you’ve got
And you’ve given more than you want
Maybe that's the time, the time to reconsider why
Oh oh and when you’ve given love and then lost
And held on to a lost cause
Maybe that’s the time, the time to reconsider why
And give it just one more night
Oh hey hey hey
Are we given it all, giving it all, or giving away
Oh, we always said if there was a way
We’d never choose to just walk away
We'd give it our all
Or give it all way
But when we’ve given all that we’ve got
And we’ve given more than you want
Maybe that’s the time, the time to reconsider why
Oh oh and when you’ve given love and then lost
Held on to a lost cause
Maybe that’s the time, the time to reconsider why
And give it just one more night
One more night
One more night
Oh hey
Give it just one more night
One more night
One more night
Oh hey
Give it just one more night
