This Could Be The Night

(album: The Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall - 1975)

I was hopeless, heartless, and helpless too
I was singing and skidding on my knees
I was left out in the cold, I had nobody there to hold me
People won't you tell me what was I supposed to do

All of these nights I've been a fool to sit home wasted
All of these nights I sat alone my heart was aching
Looked like a dope with the blues
I couldn't see no hope in sight
But I'm patching up my jeans
And find something cool to take a ride in
Hop into my old chevvy, and go cruising for the drive-in
I got me a little money, gonna find myself a honey tonight

This could be the night, the night I've waited for
This could be the night, no other night like this before

Gonna pick her up about quarter, quarter to seven
You know we're gonna take a trip, a trip to heaven
And if it's love she's wanting
Then you know I'm gonna give her some
Yes I know

This could be the night, the night I've waited for
This could be the night, no other night like this before
