One Night Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God, you still amaze me
When you speak to me that way
Oh, the sound of your voice
The look in your eyes, you stand there in your grace
You told me that the scars you bear
Are beautiful and real
So turn the lights back on again
I wanna see the things you feel

[Chorus]
And we've got one night
To let the whole world know
Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see
We've got one night
To let the whole world know
Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

[Verse 2]
I feel it when you're near me
And I know when you're not there
Oh, when I'm on the edge and so alone
And no one seems to care
But you reach out and pull me back
And love me 'til I'm free
All the joy in my life I feel I've lost
You see inside of me
[Chorus]
And we've got one night
To let the whole world know
Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see
We've got one night
To let the whole world know
Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

[Verse 3]
Life's a song I'll sing
And it doesn't matter anymore if anyone is listening to me
'Cause you move like a light
And descend on me
You're gently moving through my life

[Chorus]
And we've got one night
To let the whole world know
Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see
We've got one night
To let the whole world know
Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are
[Outro]
We are
We are
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
