i stare at the tv 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 s 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 would you give me one more day i sit here and wonder now what if that were me if i d lost my life left behind my wife and the child that i d never see if i could look down on her how would she explain that daddy had to go away so 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 yeah yeah one more moment to say goodbye goodbye one more night to feel her touch just one more chance so that i can tell her how much i miss her and tell her i love her someone to love 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 forgive me if i laugh it s 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
