One Night Stand Lyrics
Well, good morning.
How y' doin', honey ?
I've got to tell you
I've never met a girl so funny.
Yeah. Mm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand.
You know, you're quite a girl.
You sure are pretty.
With just you in it, this is one fine city.
Yeah. Mm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand.
But I've got to be in Buffalo by eight o'clock tonight,
Playin' in some two-bit dive
Sellin' little bits of my soul for eighty bucks a week.
Ah, hell. It keeps the rest of me alive.
But I'd sure like to stay
and get to know you better.
I'd say, "I'll write."
but you'd never get a letter.
Yeah. Mm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand.
Hey, why don't you take off work
And let's go for a ride ?
Someplace special just for us.
We could take along a picnic
And find a place to hide.
Yeah, I know, I've got to catch a bus.
Well, it's sure been nice.
I might even miss you.
Hey, what's your name,
Come here, I'm gonna kiss you.
Yeah. Mm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand
How y' doin', honey ?
I've got to tell you
I've never met a girl so funny.
Yeah. Mm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand.
You sure are pretty.
With just you in it, this is one fine city.
Yeah. Mm, I wish it wasn't a one night stand.
Playin' in some two-bit dive
Sellin' little bits of my soul for eighty bucks a week.
Ah, hell. It keeps the rest of me alive.

Filing this under 'Memory' thought there's nothing specific to link it to.
It's more a reflection on just how utterly I can identify with Ackles here. There's something incredibly poignant and bittersweet and beautiful about spending only a fleeting moment with someone. For just one night you pretend that things could be magical and different.
Then the sun comes up, and the dream is over. So you get dressed and make breakfast with this stranger you'll never see again, savoring the last fading memories as you make small-talk and try to act casual.
It's not sad, exactly. You know you'll never feel it again, so you try to memorize it. To imagine it growing and lasting forever. Then he reminds you of the time.
It's a travesty that there are no comments here, so maybe posting something will help draw eyes. This is a brilliant little song about transient love and the sweetness of a moment in the woods.
