One Night Lyrics
One night with you, is What I'm now praying for Awe things that we two could plan Would make my dreams come true Just call my name, And I'll be right by your side I want your sweet open hand My loves to strong to strong to hide Always lived, a very quiet life I ain't Never did no wrong Now I know that life without you Has been to lonely too long One night with you Is what I'm now praying for The things that we two could plan would make my dreams come true Always lived, a very quiet life I ain't Never did no wrong Now I know that life without you Has been to lonely too long One night with you Is what I'm now praying for Awe things that we two could plan would make my dreams come true
