One Night of Love
You came to me in the darkness of the night,
And stayed until the morning light –
You made me love you,
Though I didn’t want to do it –
But your love was so strong.
How could I be doing wrong?
You lay beside me, warm and tender –
That night I made my sweet surrender,
You made me love you,
Though I didn’t want to do it –
But to my heart you’d found the key -
‘Love me true’ was my only plea.
Your loving arms crept slowly round me.
I told myself you were the one.
You made me love you,
Though I didn’t want to do it –
Then, all too soon you’d gone,
And only memories linger on.
I’ve never loved another, not like you -
To me, we were ‘the perfect two’ –
You made me love you,
Though I didn’t want to do it –
I love you still,
And guess I always will.
