Lyrics


PLAY ALL NIGHT
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff


With your silken scarves and earrings, in the glow of candlelight
I fell under your spell as the wine ran out, on that moonlit night
I was cold, yeah I was freezing, you took me in and kept me warm
Keepin' me from the darkness, you gave me shelter from the storm

CHORUS:

You should know that I would play all night
Just to see a smile upon your pretty face
'til my fingers bleed and my voice becomes
A whisper in the darkness, I would throw my soul to the wind
And let the music have its way
Oh Marguerite, I know it's crazy
But you know that I would play all night for you

Tonight I sit and wonder, why I never took the time
To know you 'til we had no time to spend
Just like a woman, a mother a daughter, a sister or a lover
Most of all I can thank you, for being such a friend

(repeat Chorus)

It's been too long since anyone, could make me lose control
Take down my defenses, and look deep into my soul
Oh Marguerite, I know it’s crazy
But you know that I would play all night, you’ve seen me play all night
Yeah you know that I would play all night for you
