about

“Give Me One More Night” was written around the sudden loss of a good friend. More specifically it was written through the eyes of his wife, and how I imagined she must have felt when her husband failed to return home after he collapsed on the ice at his weekly hockey game. His passing, was an undeniable realization that life can change in a split second - a realization that impacted me so deeply that I wrote this song.

lyrics

All the nights that I’ve laid here
I just assumed that all the years
Would come, and go, and you’d be near
All the nights you held me close
We laughed ‘bout who loved who the most
I never thought, they’d disappear

Chorus
I can hear your heartbeat
I can feel your breath
I can feel your warmth inside my chest
I can feel your fingers softly touch my chin
I can feel your lips against my skin

You know that it’s the hardest part
To reach to touch you in the dark
And realize, that you’re not here
I close my eyes and try to sleep
But it keeps coming back to me
I always thought I’d be where you are

I can hear your heartbeat
I can feel your breath
I can feel your warmth inside my chest
I can feel your fingers softly touch my chin
I can feel your lips against my skin

I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna stay,
Give me one more night, for what I need to say

Here I lay alone in bed
With endless things I should of said
And sunlight is climbing up the wall
I wonder if you really knew
How much I wanted you
I shoulda said it all

I can hear your heartbeat
I can feel your breath
I can feel your warmth inside my chest
I can feel your fingers softly touch my chin
I can feel your lips against my skin

I can hear your heartbeat
I can feel your breath
I can feel your warmth inside my chest
I can feel your fingers softly touch my chin
I can feel your lips against my skin

I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna stay,
Give me one more night, for what I need to say
I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna stay,
Give me one more night
