Lyrics
ONE MORE DAY
Unpublished c 2005 J. Michael

Track 5.
VS 1 He was only eight years old, a boy so full of life;
He bounced through every illness with the help of my sweet wife.
The X-Rays, labs, and Specialists showed this was his last day;
I bargained, pleaded, and denied, and I began to pray:
Chorus Dear God just give me one more day
Before you take my boy away;
There has to be another way
So Dear God just give me one more day.
VS 2 I remember his last words and I began to cry;
Even on his dying bed he didn?t want to die;
He had a tear down his left cheek; then he looked at me
Though pale and tired and oh, so weak, I could hear his plea:
Chorus Dear God just give me one more day
Before you take my soul away;
Please Dear God my Dad?s gettin? old and gray
So Dear God just give me one more day.
And I prayed with him:
Chorus Dear God just give me one more day
Before you take my boy away;
Please Dear God there must be another way;
So Dear God just give me one more day.
Just give me one more day;
Give me one more day.
I love you Best Bud!
