Video hit Phil Collins

Phil Collins - One More Night (live in Paris, 2004)

One More Night is the first single in America and second in the UK from Phil Collins' third album, No Jacket Required.

It has also been released as the eleventh track on the 1998 compilation album, Hits, as well as the third track on the 2004 compilation album, Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New.

"One More Night" was Phil Collins' second US number-one single, following "Against All Odds", and was his fourth single to reach the top ten in the UK, peaking at number four on the singles chart. It was also his first number one on the adult contemporary chart.

Collins was playing around with his drum machine when he started saying the chorus of the song. He later recalled that "The rest of the song was written very quickly." Its B-side in the UK was "I Like the Way", while the US received "The Man with the Horn".

The song's music video, directed by Jim Yukich, features Collins playing the piano in a downtown bar. It was filmed at a pub owned by Richard Branson in London (much like the video for Sussudio)".

For a part of the 1990s, the American Red Cross used the song for a public service announcement promoting their emergency shelters.

The song is featured in the opening moments of Martin Scorsese's 1986 film The Color of Money.

After Maroon 5 hit number 1 on the Hot 100 in 2012 with their own unrelated song titled "One More Night", the two songs became one of the rare pairs of songs with the same title to both hit number 1.

The lyrics:

One more night, one more night

I've been trying ooh so long to let you know

Let you know how I feel

And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back

So I can make you see

Please give me one more night, give me one more night

One more night cos I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night, oh just one more night

Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long

Wasting time, just staring at the phone

And I was wondering should I call you

Then I thought maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night, give me just one more night

Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night

Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Give me one more night, give me just one more night

Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea

I will always be with you

And if you sail away

I will follow you

Give me one more night, give me just one more night

Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same

And I know it's only words

But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here

And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night

Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night

Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
