Play It To Me One More Time

About the song

Play It To Me One More Time is a proper story song, following one tune from a casual first listen all the way through falling in love, getting married, and looking back years later. It has a lovely easy charm to it, and the whole thing hangs on the idea that a simple song can end up becoming part of your life forever.

Just the other day I heard a song I never heard before
Playing on the radio
It was really nothing special, my foot just tapped the floor is all
So I guess I wouldn't mind if you played it to me one more time

I went out that night and guess which song I heard again
Playing at a local disco
And up there on the dance floor, a girl I'd never seen before
Looking kinda fine, play it to me one more time

I went over to her, I said would you like a drink
She said yeah that would be good
And then we can get up and dance to my favourite tune

Days went flying by and we seen each other every night
We listened to the radio
It was feeling kinda right and I knew that we were gonna fall
It's a sign play it to me one more time

I got down on one knee and I asked if she'd share my life
She said yeah that would be good
And then we can get up and dance to my favourite tune

That was so many years ago but it feels just like it was yesterday
It's strange now, don't you think that a silly little song can change your whole life

Just the other day the song we've heard many times before
Was streaming in our living room
My wife kissed me on the cheek, I put my arms around her
We both remembered and they played it to us one more time

I went over to her, I said would you like a nice cup of tea
She said yeah that would be good
And then we can get up and dance to my favourite tune
