It's a Trio, Me, Myself and I
Story behind the song
Going back to that first night sounded like a good way to make up for assuming your main squeeze knows how you feel about her. Taking her for granted, you know, "honey, you know I love everything you do for me".
Lyrics
That First Night
(Jim Russ)
I019m gonna take you out to a dinner and a show
How long has it been, I don019t really know
But I019m making it up for letting you down
For lonely nights and not being around
(Chorus)
018Cause this man knows what it takes
The right moves with no mistakes
Gonna give you that first night, first night
Gonna give you that, give you that, gonna give you that
First night again, that first night, yeah that first night again
We019re gonna take a drive till the traffic fades away
Nothing but the stars shining down on you and I
Down on you and I026
Lying in the grass, not a care in the world
All I019m thinking of is how I love this girl
Now I019m taking you back to another time
Where you019ve always been in this heart of mine
018Cause this man knows what it takes
The right moves with no mistakes
Gonna give you that first night, first night
Gonna give you that, give you that, gonna give you that
First night again, that first night, yeah that first night again
(Bridge)
Time and again I think of you and the things I don019t do
Time and again I wonder why I let things slip by time and again and again
Taking the long way home trying to make it last
However slow I go that morning019s coming fast
But I019m making it up for letting you down
For lonely nights and not being around
(Chorus) 2x
