Once was not enough ~ I need you here with me again Tonight, and every other night ~ So come and stay ~ You show me what is right, and lead the way ~ You take me to another state of mind ~ Release me from the prison of the pain I’ll leave behind ~ You sing your song ~ I’ll play along ~ So please, call out the key ~ And please, stay with me Tonight

Once when I was blind, my mind perceived what I did not believe ~ And only as you spoke, the spell was broke ~ I could not pretend I’m just your friend ~ So don’t disguise the love you feel inside ~ There’s nothing here for you to fear ~ There’s nowhere you can hide ~ It can’t be wrong ~ I’ve known so long ~ That you could set me free ~ So please, rescue me Tonight

Once you change your mind, you’ll find you can’t return, you can’t rewind ~ So don’t you fly away ~ We’ll be okay ~ And don’t believe the lies ~ Don’t be surprised to find me in the morning when you rise ~ Another day to dream away beneath these Painted Skies ~ I won’t desert ~ You won’t be hurt ~ So please, believe in me ~ And please, come home to me Tonight
