One More Time Tonight

lyrics

LYRICS
Babe, I long to hold you close
Just one more time tonight to feel your
Arms around me – the fire’s burnin’ bright
And lookin’ up I wish I may dear God
I wish I might – have one more wish I’m
Wishin’ for – just one more time tonight

I hear those far-off distant guns a-thunderin’
I hear the drums – the sounds of war
You’ve been sent to guard our land
And I’m tryin’ to understand
Today they said you won’t be back any more

But now thinkin’ back rememberin’ all you told me
I feel you close though you’re so far away
And little John is fine, I’ll tell him when it’s time
Our baby boy turned one year old today

Babe, I long to hold you close
Just one more time tonight
To feel your arms around me
The fire’s burnin’ bright
And lookin’ up I wish I may
Dear God I wish I might
Have one more wish I’m wishin’ for
Just one more time tonight

The last time when you held me I remember
Your strong and gentle smile so soft and true
Your tender touch that night
Made everything all right, you said
“True love lives forever” – and I knew

But now they say you won’t be home to hold me
And I’ll never see your sweet, sweet smile again
Still our love lives on In the heart of our young son
One day he’ll get to know you – but until then

Babe, I long to hold you close
Just one more time tonight to feel your
Arms around me – the fire’s burnin’ bright
And lookin’ up I wish I may dear God
I wish I might – have one more wish I’m
Wishin’ for – just one more time tonight
