Just One Day

Just one day to tell you why
I fell apart the day you died
Just one day to tell you things
Have changed and I’ve now spread my wings

Just one day to reassure
To show you that I’m now mature
Just one day to prove I’m blessed
And giving every day my best

Just one day, some breathing space
To gaze into your loving face
And revel in this second chance
To sing with you and share a dance

And tell you after you were gone
My bitterness the world went on
When I was falling, lashing out
And you were all I thought about

Just one day to show you how
I’m living my life in the now
My head, it is no longer bowed
I live my life so you’ll be proud

The values you had given to me
Are there for everyone to see
And in your memory I’ll go on
The good you did, I’ll build upon

All I ask is one day more
And then I’ll gently close the door.
