NB: This song was originally written with the lyric "One Night Of Sin" and was a
minor hit for Smiley Lewis in 1956. The following year, Elvis Presley recorded
it, but the lyrics were considered
to be too risqué for the mass market at the time. So, with a few lyric changes,
it was quickly re-recorded as "One Night With You".
ONE NIGHT (OF SIN)
as recorded by ELVIS PRESLEY, 18th January 1957:
One night of sin
Is what I'm now payin' for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the earth stand still
Don't call my name
It makes me feel so ashamed
I lost my sweet helpin' hand
I got myself to blame
Always lived very quiet life
Ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that very quiet life
Has caused me nothin' but harm
One night of sin
Is what I'm now payin' for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the earth stand still
Always lived very quiet life
Ain't never did no wrong
But now I know that very quiet life
Has caused me nothin' but harm
One night of sin
Is what I'm now payin' for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the earth stand still

ONE NIGHT (WITH YOU)
as recorded by ELVIS PRESLEY, 23rd February 1957:
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Just call my name
And I'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My loves too strong to hide
Always lived very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Always lived very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
