One Night Stand
Pat Bautista 1976 (Acapulco)
No
I don’t believe in yesterday
And I can’t see the wisdom in what they say
That tomorrow is only a day away
Yesterday you were not here
Tomorrow you’ll be gone
And everything that’s you and me
Will vanish come the dawn
For sometimes a glimpse is all we get
Moments all too fleeting
Weighed against a world’s regret
Aquiver my heart’s beating
Anticipating
Devastating
Salivating
To love s lifetime
And live forever
In this moment
Here
With you
