America ~ You Could've Been The One


Written by john batdorf and sue sheridan, ©1980 Found on alibi and ventura highway and other favorites. There's a bright light that's shinin' in your face You can't even see me at all Oh, you look like an angel out of place At this downtown devil's bar Do you wanna dance girl You said no thanks And i watched you drift away Well you had your chance You could've been the one Tonight you could've been the only one For the rest of my life I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done Knowin' you could've been the one If i come back here i might see you again And maybe you'd say yes But it's a losin' game i'm tryin' to win And i can only guess Do you have somebody (watchin') Who watches you As you let down your hair By the light of the moon You could've been the one Tonight you could've been the only one For the rest of my life I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done Knowin' you could've been the one Knowin' you could've been the one Where do you go when the night ends Are you just a dream that fades into gray Visions of you will not leave me alone Why did you have to turn away You could've been the one Tonight you could've been the only one For the rest of my life I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done Knowin' you could've been the one Tonight you could've been the only one For the rest of my life I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done Knowin' you could've been the one ... more free lyrics

Found on alibi and ventura highway and other favorites.

There's a bright light that's shinin' in your face
You can't even see me at all
Oh, you look like an angel out of place
At this downtown devil's bar

Do you wanna dance girl
You said no thanks
And i watched you drift away
Well you had your chance

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one

If i come back here i might see you again
And maybe you'd say yes
But it's a losin' game i'm tryin' to win
And i can only guess

Do you have somebody (watchin')
Who watches you
As you let down your hair
By the light of the moon

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one
Knowin' you could've been the one

Where do you go when the night ends
Are you just a dream that fades into gray
Visions of you will not leave me alone
Why did you have to turn away

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could've been the one ...

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
