One Night in a Hotel
© 1991 G.J. Griffin

Somewhere along the line, my soul will meet with yours
Somewhere in time
Somewhere along the line, you gave your love to me
I gave you mine.
Just a pair of tortured souls seeking refuge from their pain
And the need that we both had brought us close to love again.
One night in that hotel closer than ever before,
Destiny gave us what we'd been looking for.
In the morning through the window I recall the rain that fell.
After we'd shared one night in that hotel... One night in that hotel.

And through the weeks to come closer we'd become to be undone
And like a child that's lost I opened up my heart
At such a cost.
I don't think that I'd ever felt such fear inside
The fear of being hurt again, a fear I couldn't hide.
A memory so fresh that I just couldn't hide the pain.
The fear the wound would open up again.
In the morning through the window I recall the rain that fell
After we'd shared ... One night in that hotel... One night in that hotel.

Your beauty haunts me still.  We lit a flame that night
In that hotel.
Each time I looked at you, I couldn't believe that it was true.
We cleansed each others' spirits purging two lifetimes of pain
Then hand in hand we left the room and walked into the rain.
We shared our thoughts and dreams at breakfast,
Further fanned the flame,
Plunging headlong, recklessly and into love again.
In the morning through the window I recall the rain that fell
After we spent one night in that hotel... One night in that hotel 
... One night in that hotel.
