[Intro] Mmmmm
[Verse]
That fall came down like a ton of bricks
On the streets and on my chest
I saw you walk there by the shoreline
When your mind won’t let you rest
[Verse]
The moonlight spread like a fan
You smiled just like you had a plan
Your lips were whiskey, dark and gold
Like an angel, something to behold
[Chorus]
Just that once, our kiss made us glow
Like the light had nowhere else to go
For all the time we never caught
And all the love that turned to thought
For all the days that we had lost
And all the nights we knew the cost
One kiss, so sweet so long
Now we’re just another memory in a song
[Verse]
We should’ve stayed, I know we should
But we turned away and felt it fly
Was like the calm inside the storm
While the world just kept twirl on by
[Chorus]
But just that once, our kiss made us glow
Like the light had nowhere else to go
For all the time we never caught
And all the love that turned to thought
For all the days that we had lost
And all the nights we knew the cost
One kiss, so sweet so long
Now we’re just another memory in a song
[Bridge]
I still feel you when the leaves turn gold
When the truth cuts through like winters cold
Just that once – and I will always hold
Every touch, and every word you told
[Chorus]
Just that once, our kiss made us glow
Like the light had nowhere else to go
For all the time we never caught
And all the love that turned to thought
For all the days that we had lost
And all the nights we knew the cost
One kiss, so sweet so long
Now we’re just another memory in a song
[Outro]
Just that once, our kiss made us glow
As if the light had nothing better to do
One kiss, so sweet, so sweet so long
Now we are just memories in a song
just a memory in a song
Den här låten är en egen dikt som jag först vecklat ut och därefter översatt till engelska. Känslan i den var väldigt mycket country så det fick bli en sådan låt.
En enda gång
Och hösten fyllde
mig till brädden med sitt mörker
Som den där kvällen när
marelden brann i havet och din mun
smakade whiskey och mörk choklad
och medan vi gick längs stranden
bort mot båthusen hördes svanarnas
visslande vingar i kvällsbrisen
Kanske borde vi stannat där
för det var som om vi var i stormens öga.
och kanske var det därför jag kände
att tiden var inne och kysste dig
En enda gång för de år som vi
visste att vi aldrig skulle få dela
