As I had such a good response from my last song I posted thought I'd post another. This was written a long time ago and is a true story. I don't condone cheating but those of us who have fallen in love and into that type of situation will feel this as I do deep in my heart, even 25 years late...

Once More Tonight


 


Chorus:      Once more tonight…I sit alone


I sit alone… to watch the phone


Should I call… or should I wait


But it’s the waiting… that I hate


 


 


 


I dial the numbers one by one


By the shadow…s of the setting sun


I hear her voice… I fell love


You are my star… from up above


 


You can’t talk… for he’s at home


He wonders who… is on the phone


Should I meet you… later my dear


But it’s the waiting… that I fear


 


Hurried goodbyes… whispered vow


Holding a phone…long dead now


Another night…I’ll spend alone


Illicit love…and unbroken home

Painful, painful... and the pain perhaps outweighing the bittersweetness from this perspective. The heart is a law unto itself and there is just no denying chemistry. These two things alone are just not aware of moral boundaries. When the feelings are real, who can deny them? But it's what we do with the feelings, I guess, that just makes all the difference. We can't help WHAT we feel, but we CAN choose what to do with the feelings. And, like Susan, I am in awe of that final line, which shows that hard decisions have already been made. Actions will therefore presumably follow suit and feelings will be marched into order. Can feel the anguish and the integrity of this write, Felix. But, with you, there are no half measures - EVER. I would love to hear this sung... can you not record for us? Perty Pleas??!! LOL K xx
