If I could spend just one more day,
one more day with you, my dear,
I’d spend the day just laughing
and hiding all my tears.
Though my heart just breaks within me,
to think I’d say goodbye again,
I’d do my best to keep you near me,
and think those hours would never end.
We’d watch the sun rise from the sky;
We’d eat and dance and fly a kite.
I’d hold you always by my side,
and think of only you and I.
I’d give the flowers I never gave;
I’d sing my finest serenade.
I’d read you poems that I have made,
and show you how I can be brave.
We’d gaze at stars all through the night,
I’d kiss and hug you really tight.
And if tears fall from my eyes,
I’d share with you some pretty lies.
If I could spend just one more day,
one more day with you, my love,
I’d thank the heavens up above,
and pray we never ever part.
