Lyrics Florence + the Machine

Florence + the Machine

Only If for a Night

And I had a dream

About my old school

And she was there all pink and gold

And glittery

I threw my arms around her legs,

(Came to weeping, came to weeping)

Then I heard your voice as clear as day,

And you told me I should concentrate,

It was all so strange,

And so surreal,

That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night

And the only solution was to stand and fight,

And my body was loosing all the sattelites,

But you came over me like some holy life,

And I know the whole story,

You're the only light

Only if for a night

The grass was so green against my new clothes,

And I did cartwheels in your honour.

Dancing on tiptoes,

My own secret ceremonials,

Before the service began.

In the graveyard, doing handstands.

And I heard your voice as clear as day,

And you told me I should concentrate ,

It was all so strange,

And so surreal,

That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night.

And the only solution was to stand and fight,

And my body was loosing all the sattelites,

But you came over me like some holy life,

And I know the whole story,

You're the only light.

Only if for a night.

Ooohh,

Oooooohhhh,

Woah-woah-woah.

My doh, my dear, my darling,

Tell me what all this sighing's about,

Tell me what all this sighing's about.

And I heard your voice as clear as day,

And you told me I should concentrate,

It was all so strange,

And so surreal,

That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.

Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaooooh.

Only if for a night.
