[Verse 1] The day ended, the sun burned down And stole the last lime from my glass I said I’m leaving, made it halfway Then heard you laughing as I passed [Pre-Chorus] The room was closing, chairs went up You asked me if I’d had enough I shook my head and pulled you near There’s still a little trouble here [Chorus] One more time, don’t call the night We’ve got one good song and a little more light One more time, stay by my side We can take the long way home tonight [Verse 2] Your silver ring tapped on the table You drew a heart in spilled champagne I found my scarf beneath your jacket You said, “You’ll have to come again” [Pre-Chorus] The cab rolled past, we let it go Your shoes were pinching, mine were slow You took my hand, I changed my mind The morning can wait outside [Chorus] One more time, don’t call the night We’ve got one good song and a little more light One more time, stay by my side We can take the long way home tonight [Bridge] When the room is bare and the glasses are dry When the last coat disappears from sight Ask me once, I’ll say it twice I’m not ready to say goodnight [Final Chorus] One more time, don’t call the night We’ve got one good song and a little more light One more time, stay by my side We can take the long way home tonight One more time, let the hours slide We can take the long way home tonight [Outro] One more time Stay a little while
