It's your one night in the sun Be sure to take your adulation Get your pinch just when the moment's right It's your one night in the sun It's your one that got away In the shadows of devotion You can feel it in your bones at night And it's only just begun Oh, baby how could we know When no laureate could tell us why And no preacher could decide Tell me now, oh, baby how could we know When there is no map, no good advice And no road to paradise In the the barrel of a gun At a seaside destination Put it all aside and hold me tight It's my one night in the sun Oh, baby how could we know When no laureate could tell us why And no preacher could decide Tell me now, oh, baby how could we know When there is no map, no good advice And no road to paradise Did you let me go Did you let me go Oh, oh Did you let me go Did you let me go Oh, oh For the good life For the good life Did you let me go Did you let me go For the good life Did you let me go Did you let me go For the good life For the good life For the good life For the good life For the good life Did you let me go Did you let me go Did you let me go Did you let me go Did you let me go Did you let me go Did you let me go Did you let me go
