The Night Will Only Know Lyrics

(Stephanie Davis, Jenny Yates, Garth Brooks)
 That night will live
forever
 Their first time to lie together
 They were finally where desire
dared them to go
 Both belonging to another
 But longing to be lovers

Promising each other that the night will only know
 Parked on some old
backstreet
 They laid down in the backseat
 And fell into the fire down
below
 But they would pay for their deceving
 For a deadly web was
weaving
 Why they picked that spot that evening
 Lord, the night will
only know
 Well within the innuendos
 Just outside the steamy windows

The night was shattered by a woman's scream
 Motionless and frightened

The grip of fate had tightened
 And with trembling hands they wiped away the
steam
 They saw a woman pleading
 Stumbling, begging, and retreating

'Til she became the victim of a foe
 And they watched her fall in
silence
 To save their own alliance
 But the reason for the violence

Just the night will only know
 And every paper ran the story
 She was
stripped of all her glory
 And they told exactly how the woman died

Abandoned and forsaken
 Too many pills were taken
 And they ruled the
woman's death a suicide
 Bound by their behavior
 They could have been
her savior
 Now guilt becomes an endless debt they owe
 But another crime
was committed
 And it's never been admitted
 Have the guilty been
acquitted
 Lord, the night will only know
