I stare at the T.V.
And I can’t believe my eyes
There’s no place to run
And no place to go there’s no place left to hide
I can see their faces
I can feel their pain
Our lives will never be the same

So forgive me if I laugh
It is just to hide the tears
Sometimes I wonder if I’ve wasted all those years
For all the things I felt
But forgot to say
Won’t you give me one more day

I sit here and wonder
Now, what if that were me
If I had lost my life, left behind my wife and
The child I’d never see
If I could only look down on her
How would she explain
That daddy had to go away

Forgive me if I smile it’s just to hide my fears
And in a time of dying our life becomes so clear
They say the good Lord works
In such mysterious ways
I just hope he gives me one more day

One more day to look into her eyes
One more moment to say goodbye, goodbye
One more night to feel her touch
Just one more chance so I could tell her
How much I miss her, tell her I love her

Someone to love me and someone to hold me before
I fall from grace
Someone to need me, someone to believe me
Before I lose my faith
For all the things I meant but forgot to say…
I hope you give me one more day

So forgive me if I laugh
It is just to hide the tears
Sometimes I wonder if I’ve wasted all those years
For all the things I felt
But forgot to say
I hope he gives me one more day
