Only If For A Night (LYRICS) - Florence + the Machine

[@ashleypyle2909]

This song reminds me of my dad, I lost him this past summer June 2. He was an amazing man and father. There’s not a day where I don’t miss him or think of him. This song reminds me of him telling me too keep fighting and stand up for myself. I love you dad. I can’t wait to see you again some day. ❤ arms wide open. Love you dad!

[@frostden]

This song reminds me of my Dad too. Although I lost him 10 years ago now. He was a rock. Sometimes I'll dream of him. And it's confusing and profound and unreal and oh so fleetingly a relief that he's back. And then I wake up, and it's... A dream. The closest I'll ever get to my Dad, and the closest I'll ever get to a ghost. Sorry again for your loss.

[@patriotlightning7791]

He lives on, in your heart ❤

[@thelanguageofthebirds]

This has so many layered meanings for me. Moves me in ways language cannot explain every time I hear it..

[@CarloDaniel-iz8dl]

And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping (Came to weeping) Came to weeping (Came to weeping) And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And it's so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honour Dancing on tiptoes My own secret ceremonials Before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And it's so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night My doe, my dear, my darling Tell me what all this sighing's about Tell me what all this sighing's about And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And it's so surreal That a ghost should be so practical

i feel like a teenager again this was def a bop

[@Meat.tenderizer01]

I see her when I sleep I miss her so much and I dream of kissing her of hugging her and and talking to her I know she doesn’t want me to be sad and I know that she wants me to content with my dreams of her but I miss her so much my dreams are so surreal and I have them all the time I wake up with a sinking feeling and I trust that I will survive without her but I am spending hours on end crying in my bed, I love her more then words can describe and my dreams of my love are what keep me sain I miss her so much. It’s like a burning fire in my heart that I can’t put out. I will see her in my dreams soon but for now it’s just dreams I love her and I miss her so much.

[@sam_evening1]

I wish someday someone will love me like you love this girl.

[@jillianelise5]

@@sam_evening1 this definitely made me cry. Sending a lot of hugs right now. This world is so heartbreaking.

[@elsatyrn9966]

I once knew that. Exactly what you are talking about. It has been so very long she doesn't even seem real anymore. I was so sad for so long that I ruined my life and all I feel now is dead inside nothing matters to me life doesn't matter death doesn't matter. Don't be sad for too long. Don't be like me

[@pshimcool1]

Ditto. Love to be able to chat with yall to help get me outside of my own head and get through these struggles 😢😅

[@DCB88]

She misses you always ànd love is just an ache that never goes away.

[@giraffep2390]

[@foxmeow3061]

For Claire and the world I love you. Xxx

I imala sam san O mojoj staroj školi I bila je tamo Sva roza i zlatna i sjajna Zabacila sam moje ruke oko njenih nogu Došla sam da plačem Došla sam da plačem I čula sam tvoj glas Jasan kao dan I rekao si mi Da treba da se koncentrišem Sve je bilo tako čudno I tako nadrealno Da bi duh trebao da bude praktičan Samo za jednu noć I jedino rešenje Je da stanem i da se borim I moje telo je bilo u modricama I bila sam spremna da sidjem Ali je došla po mene Kao neki sveti obred I uprkos tome što sam gorela Ti si bio jedino svetlo Samo za jednu noć I trava je bila tako zelena Uprkos mojoj odeći I uradila sam catrwheels(?(pokret u gimnastici)) u tvoju čast Plesala sam na prstima Radi moje tajne ceremonije Pre nego što je služba počela Na groblju u kome se rade stojevi na rukama I čula sam tvoj glas Jasan kao dan I rekao si mi Da treba da se koncentrišem Sve je bilo tako čudno I tako nadrealno Da bi duh trebao da bude praktičan Samo za jednu noć I jedino rešenje Je da stanem i da se borim I moje telo je bilo u modricama I bila sam spremna da sidjem Ali je došla po mene Kao neki sveti obred I uprkos tome što sam gorela Ti si bio jedino svetlo Samo za jednu noć Moja lutko, moja dušo, moj dragi Reci mi zbog čega svi uzdišemo Reci mi zbog čega svi uzdišemo I čula sam tvoj glas Jasan kao dan I rekao si mi Da treba da se koncentrišem Sve je bilo tako čudno I tako nadrealno Da bi duh trebao da bude praktičan Samo za jednu noć... lyricstranslate.com

[@lisaslay-z8342]

And the solution was to stand and fight

[@Stsebastian8900]

THIS WAS MY kET ALBUM

[@johnnymartinez733]

Periphery's version is way better I'm sorry hers is still excellent 👌🏻 tho but periphery and the way Spencer sings is just magical

[@napahtheaurist5425]

19 disconnected orphaned souls have been here😢🤷😇

[@lisaslay-z8342]

Yet we still stand and fight until death💗

[@silverdagger147]

Aaaaaand I still can’t figure out what the song mean, I’m sorry ppl I just don’t would someone be kind enough to tell me what it meant

[@dianescarabino6464]

I think everyone has their own interpretation, ah the beauty of music. For me, it’s my daughter reaching to me from heaven telling her HS Cheerleading team, hear my voice, you miss me but be strong, fight sadness and live each day in my honor (as you do cartwheels). I think this song is about finding strength when all seems so hard.

[@krystalharvey4874]

Is about a dream involved florence's grandmother. she passed away when florence was a teenager

[@eskimafia9661]

This song is for her grandmother that past away,

[@zoefang4563]
