Just One More Chance
Billie Holiday & Ray Ellis & His Orchestra Lyrics

Just one more chance
I'm pleading for another opportunity to try and prove my love for you.

To prove it's you alone I care for
I want to demonstrate that I have true feelings for you and only you.

Each night I say a little prayer for
I think about you often and hope for another opportunity to show you my love.

Just one more night
I desire another night with you to experience the love and passion we share.

To taste the kisses that enchant me
I long to feel the sensations of your kisses that have always captivated me.

I'd want no others if you'd grant me
I don't need anyone else, as long as I have you and your love.

I've learned the meaning of repentance
I've come to understand and regret the mistakes I've made in the past.

Now you're the jury at my trial
You have the power to decide if I deserve another chance to prove my love.

I know that I should serve my sentence
I realize that I must face the consequences of my past actions.

Still, I'm hoping all the while
Despite knowing I might not get another chance, I still hold on to hope.

You'll give me
I'm asking for your forgiveness and a chance to make things right.

Just one more word
All I need from you is one more sign of love and forgiveness.

I said that I was glad to start out
At one point, I thought I was content without your love.

But now I'm back to cry my heart out
Now, I'm back to my senses and longing for your love.

For just one more chance
All I want is another opportunity to show you my love and commitment.

We spend our lives in groping for happiness
Throughout our lives, we search endlessly for happiness.

I found it once and tossed it aside
I once had happiness with you but foolishly let it go.

I paid for it with hours of loneliness
Now, I suffer from loneliness as I regret losing you.

I've nothing to hide
I'm honest and open about my mistakes and desire for your love.

I'd bury my pride for
I'd be willing to let go of my ego for another chance with you.
