A phone call from a friend of mine, asking "What's going on tonight?"
It takes real imagination in a town with one red light
So it's 10 o'clock in the parking lot, in front of that ol' dance hall
Telling lies about last weekend, pretending we had a ball

But the angels in heaven were somehow on my side
They made a plan for our hearts to collide
I never thought walking through them swinging doors could make me a happy man
And you turned out to be a one life stand

Lonesome fools try to play it cool when the music's soft and slow
An innocent refuge comes off looking bold
With your first glance I knew we'd dance the rest of the night
At the time I just didn't know it'd last the rest of my life

Well I never put no stock in luck or fate
Believe good things come to those who wait
But these days, I'm changing my mind

I never thought walking through them swinging doors could make me a happy man
But you turned out to be a one life stand
