Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight,
It's 2 AM, I'm drunk again,
It's heavy on my mind, it's heavy on my mind.

I could never love again,
So much as I love you.
Where you end, where I begin,
Is like a river going through.

Take my heart, take my eyes,
Cause I'll need them no more.
If never again they'll fall upon,
The one I so adore.

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Could you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart,
My grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll move on.

One drink to remember,
And another to forget.
How could I ever dream to find a love like this again?
One drink to remember, another to forget...

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Would you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart,
My grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll move on.
One more drink and I'll move on.

You think of things impossible,
Then the sun refuse to shine.
I woke with you beside me,
Your cold hand lay in mine.

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Could you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart,
My grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll go...

Excuse me please, one more drink.
Could you make it strong,
Cause I don't need to think.
She broke my heart, my grace is gone.
Another drink and I'll move on,
One more drink and I'll move on.
One more drink my grace is gone.

    General Comment:These lyrics aren't correct! The track I have in my library goes like this:

    Neon shines through smokey eyes tonight
    It's 2am im drunk again it's heavy on my mind

    I could never love again, so much as i loved you
    where you end where i begin is like a river runnin' through

    so take my eyes, take my heart i need them no more
    if never again they fall upon the one i so adore

    excuse me please one more drink, could you make it strong cuz i don't need to think
    she broke my heart my grace is gone
    one more drink and i'll move on

    one drink to remember, and another to forget
    i could die of a dream to find sweet love like you again
    one drink to remember and another to forget

    excuse me please one more drink, could you make it strong cuz I don't need to think
    she broke my heart my grace is gone
    one more drink and i'll move on, one more drink and I'll be gone

    you think of things impossible then the sun refused to shine
    when i woke with you beside me your cold hang lay in mine

    excuse me please one more drink, could you make it strong cuz i dont need to think
    she broke my heart my grace is gone
    one more drink and ill go
    excuse me please one more drink, could you make it strong cuz i dont need to think
    she broke my heart my grace is gone
    one more drink and ill move on
    one more drink and ill be gone
    one more drink and my grace is gone
