Just Once More

I wish that I could laugh with you
Just once more
Taste the midnight sky so blue
Walk through its door
If I could have just one more dance
I’d let you go
If I could have just one more chance
I’d love you so
But the breezes blow
And the rivers flow
The days roll on….
You are gone

I wish that I could hold your hand
Just once more
Then run through summer’s fields again
Just like before
If I could have just one more hour
I’d love you so
Maybe then I’d have the power
To let you go
But the clouds drift by
In the clear, blue sky
The days roll on….
You are gone

If I could have just one more day
Would it be enough?
One more day to softly say
Sweet words of love
One day to run through fields so green
Or breathe its floor
Would be enough or would I plead
For just once more?
The flowers cry
I whisper ‘why?’
The days roll on….
You are gone
