ONE MORE NIGHT LIKE THIS / © 1972 Albert Melshenker
From the One More Night Like This CD

One more minor affair at an end, why pretend that we’d
Ever really been there; in my mind, I still find her
Sittin’ by the beach fire with the stars above
Comin’ cross to my side, and whispering words of love

If I have one more night like this
I might as well end it, I might as well toss it all
If I have one more night like this
I might as well throw it all away

We met down by the pier every night, candlelight
Drank my favorite premium beer, nice and cool, like a fool she led me
Wading in the water—that’s how it all began
She just smiled for starters; we left them on the sand

If I have one more night like this
I might as well end it, I might as well toss it all
If I have one more night like this
I might as well throw it all away

Seems so strange to me that love comes so easy to some
Time and time again I reach but she’s already gone

One more minor affair now at hand, understand that she was
Only one in a line, take it far, chances are you’ll find them
Waiting round the corner or in a small café
Is it any wonder they all come out this way?

If I have one more night like this
I might as well end it, I might as well toss it all
If I have one more night like this
I might as well throw it all away
(repeat twice)
…throw it all away
