ONE NIGHT ONLY

Showing off her figure
Adorning her new dress
Just for one night only
She dresses to impress
Looking extra special
She wonders if for once
He’ll pay her a compliment
Again there’s no response

Kicking off her silver shoes
Letting down her hair
Throwing caution to the wind
Like she didn’t have a care
She danced all night
With several men
Music in her ears
Knocking back a drink or two
With friends she’d known for years
With each drink came courage
In each compliment a strength
Ignoring all the phone calls
The messages he sent

Kicking off her silver shoes
Letting down her hair
Throwing caution to the wind
Like she didn’t have a care
Mixed emotions fill her head
As the drink becomes too much
Memories flow of love that was
Remembering his gentle touch
Coming to her senses
She decides its time to go
To try and save a marriage
To the man she used to know

Picking up her silver shoes
Tying up her hair
Returning home to the man she loves
To remind him she still cares
Showing off her figure
Adorning her new dress
She vows to bring the sparkle back
To the marriage she is blessed
