One Day On This Earth
Brutha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, whoa
I dropped a tear in the ocean
And when you find it
That's the day I'll stop loving you, come on

If the time was slipping away
And I didn't have long to live
I appreciate the times we've shared
And I wouldn't want you to shed a tear

If the road was coming to an end
And I couldn't turn this car around
I know faith will get us, get us through the wind
And land our feet somewhere on heaven's ground

If I had only one day on this earth, whoa
I'll live tonight, I'll spend tonight
Make love tonight, I'll sleep tonight
With you by my side

And if I had only one day on this earth, whoa
Then I'll laugh tonight, I'll cry tonight
I'll make it right, spend the rest of my time
With you by my side

Now if this life gets the best of me
And all the fame starts to fade away
Just know our love made history
And the next life is a better place

If they announced it on the television
That the world was gonna end today, yeah
Girl, I'd be on a mission
To love you the rest of the night away if I had one

If I had only one day on this earth, yeah, whoa
I'll live tonight, I'll spend tonight
Make love tonight, I'll sleep tonight
With you by my side

And if I have only one day on this earth, whoa
Then I'll laugh tonight, I'll cry tonight
I'll make it right, spend the rest of my time
With you by my side

We could see the sunrise
We could see the stars glis'
Make love in the moonlight
I'll make you my bucket list

We gone shop like no tomorrow
Live it up like no tomorrow
Pop champagne like no tomorrow
In the club like no tomorrow

You can have anything you like
You're my girl, I'ma treat you right
And when I shine, you shine
So have fun you only get one life

And for all them hatin' humans
Smile-in-your-face humans
Behind your back
They-wanna-take-your-place humans

We going live forever
We going grind forever
We going be together
'Til forever and ever

If I had only one day on this earth, whoa
I'll live tonight, I'll spend tonight
Make love tonight, I'll sleep tonight
With you by my side

And If I have only one day on this earth, whoa
Then I'll laugh tonight, I'll cry tonight




I'll make it right, spend the rest of my time
With you by my side

Line by Line Meaning

I dropped a tear in the ocean
I have poured out my emotions into this vast and endless world


And when you find it
When you finally understand the depth of my feelings


That's the day I'll stop loving you, come on
My love for you is unconditional and will last forever


If the time was slipping away
If I were running out of time


And I didn't have long to live
If my days were numbered


I appreciate the times we've shared
I cherish every moment we have spent together


And I wouldn't want you to shed a tear
I don't want you to be sad or lament when I'm gone


If the road was coming to an end
If our journey was nearing its conclusion


And I couldn't turn this car around
And there was nothing I could do to change our fate


I know faith will get us, get us through the wind
I believe that we can overcome any obstacle with faith and hope


And land our feet somewhere on heaven's ground
And reach a place of peace and tranquility


If I had only one day on this earth, whoa
If I had just one more day to live


I'll live tonight, I'll spend tonight
I would live life to the fullest, spend every moment with you


Make love tonight, I'll sleep tonight
We would express our feelings physically and rest in each other's embrace


With you by my side
Together forever, sharing each other's dreams and hopes


Then I'll laugh tonight, I'll cry tonight
I would experience different emotions and savour each one of them


I'll make it right, spend the rest of my time
I would try to make amends for every mistake and make the most of my remaining time


Now if this life gets the best of me
If this life becomes too overwhelming


And all the fame starts to fade away
And all my achievements are forgotten


Just know our love made history
Our love would be remembered forever


And the next life is a better place
And the afterlife is a better, peaceful place


If they announced it on the television
If it was announced on TV


That the world was gonna end today, yeah
That the world was going to end soon


Girl, I'd be on a mission
I would make every moment count, and fulfil every desire with you


To love you the rest of the night away if I had one
To express my love for you until the very end


We could see the sunrise
We could witness the beauty of nature


We could see the stars glis'
We could gaze at the stars and marvel their shine


Make love in the moonlight
We could engage in a romantic lovemaking session under the moonlight


I'll make you my bucket list
I'll make every wish you have come true


We gone shop like no tomorrow
We would go shopping as if there's no tomorrow


Live it up like no tomorrow
We would live life to the fullest, as if there's no tomorrow


Pop champagne like no tomorrow
We would celebrate our time together with a luxurious bottle of champagne


In the club like no tomorrow
We would dance and party in the club as if there's no tomorrow


You can have anything you like
You have my complete trust and love to have anything you desire


You're my girl, I'ma treat you right
You're the one I want, and I will always treat you with respect, love and care


And when I shine, you shine
Our love and bond will never fade and we will always be each other's support


So have fun you only get one life
We should cherish every moment we have in this life


And for all them hatin' humans
For those who don't understand our love and try to bring us down


Smile-in-your-face humans
For those who pretend to be kind but spread rumours behind your back


Behind your back
When you're not around


They-wanna-take-your-place humans
For those who want to take your place in my life, but they never could


We going live forever
Our love will remain unbreakable for eternity


We going grind forever
We will work hard and support each other for as long as we live


We going be together
We will always be together, through thick and thin


'Til forever and ever
Our love will never end, not even in the afterlife
