One final time I lay my head upon your chest And feel your heart beating the rhythm in my rest You hold my hand before my reason goes awry And kiss me once before I can say goodbye I memorize the line within your palm, It's holding all the weight of worried calm And feeling out the measure of our breath Just wishing I could treasure what is left Don't let the shadow fall Or break the world apart Keep on living through it all Despite the darkness of a heart Don't forsake me, I pray Let me ask for one more day Just one more day! YOU GAVE ME ONE MORE DAY! I know the look of disappointment in the eyes And hope the morning will delay the sun to rise But sunlight creeps between the bend of broken blinds And searches out the hidden corners that it finds Never grasped the total hidden meaning In my eyes you were the man who is the one On the steady rock, I find the future leaning Counting all the things we wanted to get done One more day! You let me stay Just one more day Now show the way! JUST ONE MORE DAY! Don't let the shadow fall Or break the world apart Keep on living through it all Despite the darkness of a heart Don't forsake me, I pray Let me ask for one more day Just one more day! You gave me one more day! You gave me one more day! One more day!
