One Night (2011)

I wrote this song maybe as far back as 2003 but didn’t get around to recording it until I hit upon this pseudo disco strings treatment, which works pretty well, I think, given that this is essentially an acoustic number in folky open D tuning.
Two hearts beat fast
Each one keeping time
And each beat moves feet
Closer each to each
Cheek to cheek

There must be someone that you know
There must be somewhere the two of you can go
‘Cos you know

One night’s as good as any other
To fall in love with one another
Oh boy, oh brother you know
One night, one night
We’ll fall in love with one another

Kind hearts hold fast
And practise what they preach
And hard hearts stay hard
By keeping what they seek
Out of reach

There must be someone that you know
There must be somewhere the two of you can go
‘Cos you know

One night’s as good as any other
To fall in love with one another
Oh boy, oh brother you know
One night, one night
We’ll fall in love with one another
