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
