One last cup of starlight Before I wake and start my day A past so filled with promise Before I lost, I lost my way Ah that’s okay, and I’m alright I guess I’ll be lost again For one more night Ooh and that’s alright, I’m okay I'll wear the albatross For one more day As the past recalls the romance Before the bets and what you make I lost my friend in between them And that was more than I could take Ah that’s okay, and I’m alright I guess I’ll be lost again For one more night Ooh and that’s alright, I’m okay I'll wear the albatross For one more day Ah that’s okay, and I’m alright I guess I’ll be lost again For one more night Ooh and that’s alright, I’m okay I'll wear the albatross For one more day I'll wear the albatross For one more day I'll wear the albatross For one more day And because I know I'm alright
