Lyrics

ONE NIGHT STAND
Words and Music by Steve Hilton

He said they ought to get together
She thought that ought to be all right.
He talked a lot about the weather.
She asked him over for the night.
He said he couldn?t stay a long time.
She said a little while was fine.
He said he had another girlfriend.
She said she really didn?t mind.


It was a One Night Stand.
Never meant to be more than two ships which pass at night
It was a One Night Stand.
Never meant for it to change her life.

He had a lot of other lovers
She never knew another man
He thought of her when with the others
Her life did not go as she planned.
He tried to think of what she looked like
Her image faded day by day.
She always had a small reminder
Of how he looked and what he?d say.

It was a One Night Stand.
Never meant to be more than two ships which pass at night
It was a One Night Stand.
Never meant for it to change her life.

She found his number in the phone book
He didn?t live that far away.
She said they ought to get together
He thought that ought to be OK.
He said she looked just like her mother
She thought she favored both of them
He said he cried when she passed over
She said Her last words were ?Tell him??

It was A One Night Stand
Never ?sposed to be more than two ships which pass in night
But sometimes one night stands
Can be the best thing ever in your life.
