Phil Collins: Handwritten lyrics for 'One More Night',

1984,
in blue ballpoint on a sheet of lined paper, with several amendments, with letter written by Phil Collins in black felt-tip pen, reading, This is to confirm that the lyrics opposite were written by me, whilst I was composing the song 'One More Night' way back in 1984. As a song is written, the lyrics sometimes go through many changes and updating. Some words 'sing' better than others. Hence the changes. Thanks for your generosity! luv Phil Collins, in common mount, 13 x 21in (33 x 53.5cm) overall
