Just One More

written by vanessa collier

I had squeezed into the velvet corner of a candlelit bar

When he asked me to dance

I’m sure he heard my heartbeat

As he sipped his sidecar

He had a way about him

As we swayed across the floor

I knew one dance would never be enough

I knew I’d want just one more

I had closed myself off

My heart was on the mend

There was a curious spark

As all time seemed to suspend

He had a way about him

As we swayed across the floor

With him one dance is never enough

I always want just one more

The slurry of notes on the jukebox 

Had faded down to a hush

My breath had returned

I just couldn’t get enough oh no

He had a way about him

As we swayed across the floor

And now that I’m breathin’

All I want is to be breathless once more

Just one more
