If Only For One Night Lyrics

Let me hold you tight, if only for one night
Let me keep you near, to ease away your fear
It would be so nice
If only for one night

I won't tell a soul, no one has to know
If you want to be totally discrete
I'll be at your side, if only for one night
If only for one night

Your eyes say things I never hear from you
And my knees are shaking too
But I'm willing, willing to go through
I must be crazy standing in this place
But I'm feeling no disgrace
For asking

Let me hold you tight
If only for one night
Let me keep you near, to ease away your fear
It would be so nice, if only for one night
If only for one night

One night, one night
One night, one night

I'm asking
Let me take you home, to keep you safe and warm
'Til the early dawn, warms up to the sun
It would be so nice, if only for one night
If only for one night
If only for one night
If only for one night
If only for one night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I am a straight white dude that thinks Luther was the coolest. what a voice this man had. i love all kinds of music from Country to Metal or Jazz to indie.But Luther Vandross will always be the best.some of my other faves. Merle Haggard, Newsboys, Amos Lee,Pink Floyd, Dave Koz, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ozzy, Aaron Neville.that was fun..
