On A Night Like This
Chuck McDermott has crafted a wide variety of music in his career, but he reaches a whole other level with this nobly ambitious effort. It was conceived during the pandemic and often feels like a soothing hymn to rise above it. It's a plea for wisdom, tolerance, and endurance in original songs such as the haunting "38 Degrees and Raining" and the softly ambient "On a Night Like This".

LYRICS: On A Night Like This
Well it’s a cruel cruel world, anything could happen to you
On the street alone anything could happen to you
On a night like this
To a woman like you on the street alone on a night like this
Since you’re goin’ in my direction let me offer my protection
It looks like you’re a rookie, no New York city Cookie
On a night like this
Please wait for me, please wait for me
I’ll be good for you, be a handy tool
On a night like this
Hey baby baby don’t you think maybe
We should make a couple, keep us outta trouble
On a night like this
Now at the don’t walk sign, someone should be talking to you
On the street alone anything could happen to you
On a night like this
To a woman like you on the street alone
On a night like this
Hey baby baby, don’t you think maybe
We should make a couple keep us outta trouble
On a night like this ………please wait for me, please wait for me
