  • Whatever it is, it'll keep till the morning
    Haven't we both got better things to do?
    Midnight blue
    Even the simple things become rough
    Haven't we had enough?

    And I think we can make it
    One more time
    If we try
    One more time for all the old times

    For all of the times you told me you need me
    Needing me now is something I could use
    Midnight blue
    Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend?
    Maybe it's not the end

    And I think we can make it
    One more time
    If we try
    One more time for all the old times
    Midnight blue

    I think we can make it
    I think we can make it
    Oh, wouldn't you give your heart to a friend?
    Think of me as your friend

    And I think we can make it (make it)
    One more time
    If we try
    One more time for all of the old, old times

    One more time (one more time)
    I think we can make it
    If we try
    I think we can make it
    If we try
    Looks like we're gonna make it
    Looks like we're gonna make it
    If we try
    I think we can make it Writer/s: Carole Bayer Sager, Melissa Manchester
