Lyrics One Tender Night - Carlene Carter

Cast off these chains of darkness
Put on my armor of light
Out on this road there's a madness
I can shake off with one tender night
Believe I don't feel like explainin'
I'm just fightin' for some kind of life
I'm lonely and tired of complainin'
So grant me just one tender night

One tender night, oh, I want one tender night
Hold me tight 'cause I need one tender night

We all take a chance in our choices
Where passion makes certain demands
It speaks to my heart in sweet voices
Then reason slips right through my hands
We stand on these steps undecided
Should we jump or take one at a time?
I know that our hearts will be guided
And we'll find what we need here tonight

One tender night, oh, I want one tender night
Say it's alright 'cause I need one tender night

Why does it have to hurt me?
Why can't it just be alright?
Tell me you love me, you want me
Heal me with one tender night

Let me lie in your arms until you wake
Then mourn as life takes you away
I'm fragile but, darlin', I won't break
When one tender night turns to day

One tender night, oh, I want one tender night
Say it's alright 'cause I need one tender night

One tender night
One tender night
One tender night
