A fool for one night

I love you my darling, I will till I die

I will till the light has gone from my eyes

I will till the heavens hold one final star

Forgive me my love for a dalliance too far

A casual romance, a time-away fling

I knew it was wrong but the night and the drink

It was heat of the moment nothing rehearsed

Bravado undid me, she called you at work

I love you my darling, my shock was complete

I live in a nightmare on Broken Heart Street

I have no excuse, no words will suffice

A dalliance too far, a fool for one night
