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
