Genesis

I don't normally listen to Phil Collins but tonight it was on the Ipod that I was listening to while bathing Lorelei.  I always try to listen something I love but I also love to gravitate toward other artists I see on the playlists.

I've always loved Phil Collins, I grew up listening to his music.  Per usual, I connected with a song, not one but two.  Of course they are about romantic love but my mind as an Angel Mommy translated them TOTALLY differently.


One more night, one more night

I've been trying, oh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night
Give me one more night
One more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long, wasting time
Just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought, maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Please give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
I can't wait forever

I know there'll never be a time
You'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words

But if you change your mind
You know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever



How can I just let you walk away
just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you

Ooh
you're the only one who really knew me at all.
How can you just walk away from me when all I can do is watch you leave'
'cos we shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now
well
there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face.
Oh
take a look at me now
there's just an empty space

And you coming back to me is against the odds

And that's what I've got to face.

I wish I could just make you turn around
turn around and see me cry.
There's so much I need to say to you
so many reasons why.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
So take a look at me now
well
there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me

Just the memory of your face.
Now take a look at me now
'cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you is all I can do and that's what I've got to face.
Take a good look at me now
'cos I'll still be standing here

And you coming back to me is against all odds

It's the chance I've got to take. - Take a look at me now.
