Only If For A Night Lyrics


Florence & The Machine Only If For A Night

[Florence]
I threw my arms around you,
Legs came to weaken, came to weaken
Then I heard your voice as clear as day,
And you told me I should concentrate,

It was all so strange,
And so surreal,
That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night
And the only solution was to sacrifice,
And my body was loosened,
I almost saved your life,
But you came over me like some holy life,
And I know the whole story,
You’re the only light
Only if for a night

The grass was so green against my new clothes,
And I did cartwheels in your honour.
Dancing on tiptoes my own secret Ceremonials.
And all the silence began in the graveyard, doing handstands.

And I heard your voice as clear as day,
And you told me I should concentrate ,
It was all so strange,
And so surreal,
That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night.
And the only solution was to sacrifice,
And my body was loosened,
I almost saved your life,
But you came over me like some holy life,

And I know the whole story,
You’re the only light.
Only if for a night.

Ooohh,
Oooooohhhh,
Woah-woah-woah.

My darling, my dear, my darling,
Tell me what all this sighing’s about,
Tell me what all this sighing’s about.

And I heard your voice as clear as day,
And you told me I should concentrate,
It was all so strange,
And so surreal,
That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.
Only if for a night.
