  • Do you recall the night, that very very special night
    Do you remember a girl, that very special girl
    Well to the old and to the new
    We rededicate this song to you

    Oh, what a night to love you dear
    Oh, what a night to hold you near
    Oh, what a night to squeeze you dear
    That's why I love you so

    Oh, what a night to love you dear
    Oh, what a night to want you dear
    Oh, what a night to kiss you dear
    That's why I love you so

    I won't forget all those things
    You have told to me
    The craze in my heart
    Won't let me forget your love

    Oh, what a night to love you dear
    Oh, what a night to want you dear
    Oh what a night to kiss you dear
    That's why I love you so

    Oh, what a night to love you dear
    Oh, what a night to want you dear
    Oh what a night to kiss you dear
    That's why I love you so

    No, no, no, no, no
    No, no, no, no, no
    One more night, I wanna hold you one more night
    I wanna make love to you one more night
    I want you baby, I want you baby
    I need you baby, I love you baby
    One more night Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
