Lyrics

One Night Only

Sidewalk spotlight, neon glow
Holding so tight, dancing slow
How could he know?
He’s playing our song

Stare (don’t care)
It’s not so strange
To empty our pockets of all our change
For playing our song

Concrete dance floor, old soft-shoe
One-night only, out of the blue
What could we do?
He’s playing our song

A handful of coins
Tossed in a case
Buys a moment in time
We can never replace
Keep on playing our song
