Originally planning to pursue a career in animation as a teenager, Lewis instead decided to focus on music. His father was a member of the musical group Crack of Dawn. Lewis has cited Stevie Wonder as his biggest inspiration, and Glenn has often been compared to him because of their similarities in their tones. Glenn singing first garnered attention when he won a high-school talent contest by covering Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You".

After high school, Glenn began recording demos and performing at nightclubs, eventually becoming a respected act in Toronto. He parlayed this success into the release of his first single, "The Thing To Do," in 1998 on Beat Factory/BMG. The song won him a Juno Award for Best R&B Recording. His second single, "Bout Your Love," earned him a Juno nomination.

This exposure eventually landed him a deal with Epic Records. Glenn's debut album, World Outside My Window, was released on March 19, 2002. Fueled by the hit single "Don't You Forget It," the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. He promoted the album by touring with R&B singers Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.

In 2002, Lewis recorded a cover version of "Superstition" for the tribute album, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder's Songs. Glenn also makes a brief appearance in the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. He contributed the song "Fall Again" to the film's soundtrack. A concert DVD, Glenn Lewis Live, was released in 2003.

Glenn prepared his sophomore album, Back For More for release in 2003. The first single, also titled "Back For More," and featuring rapper Kardinal Offishall, was released to radio and a video began to air. Unexplicably, the album was pushed back, first to later in the year, then to 2004. It remains unreleased. In the meantime, Glenn netted a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Stanley Clarke's "Where Is The Love", a duet also featuring Amel Larrieux.

Glenn left Epic Records in 2005, and is currently signed to Underdog Entertainment. According to Glenn's MySpace page, a new album, Remember Me, will see release in the spring of 2007.

One More Day
Glenn Lewis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told her, deeper than the deepest ocean
Vast as the universe, high like any mountain top
Put your world in reverse
Ain't nothing in these words rehearsed

So maybe we can make a first
Let me begin with a simple phrase
I'm a sinner for lovin' you the way I do

Life's been peaks and valleys with winds of change
Still loving you was all the same

I never believed that love could be for me
Now I see clearly you were meant for me
And now I know the truth is to be with you
'Cause I know your love will always be there

So maybe if you give me
Maybe just one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe we can make it
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

And if you hold on
Maybe give me one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe make it better
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

Find out how deep this love can go
'Cause there ain't no guarantee
You leave or stay with me that anyways the right way
But surely we gon' make today, understood

If you would I'll be good
Knowing at times you couldn't stand it
Feeling taken for granted but I'm here to tell you, baby
I ain't going nowhere, I'ma be right here

Best believe, if love is all you need
Ooo, wee, baby, thick like gravy
Ups and downs, highs and lows
Where we'll stop only love knows

So maybe if you give me
Maybe just one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe we can make it
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

And if you hold on
Maybe give me one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe make it better
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

It ain't gonna be this way
We can work it out if we take our time
You know that it ain't gonna be this way
We can work it out if we take our time

So maybe if you give me
Maybe just one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe we can make it
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

And if you hold on
Maybe give me one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe make it better
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

So if you give me
Maybe just one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe we can make it
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

And if you hold on
Maybe give me one more day
Find it in your heart to stay
And maybe we can make it
Maybe we can make it right
Or maybe if you hold on

One more day
One more day
One day
One more day
One more day
One day

I told her, deeper than the deepest ocean
I expressed my love for her in a profound manner, deeper than the depths of the ocean

Vast as the universe, high like any mountain top
My love for her was expansive as the universe and reached great heights akin to mountaintops

Put your world in reverse
Let's reverse the current state of our relationship

Ain't nothing in these words rehearsed
These words are genuine and not rehearsed

So maybe we can make a first
Perhaps we can start a new beginning

Let me begin with a simple phrase
I want to express my feelings in simple words

I'm a sinner for lovin' you the way I do
I feel guilty for loving her so passionately

Life's been peaks and valleys with winds of change
Life has been full of highs and lows, and changes have come our way

Still loving you was all the same
Despite the changes, my love for her remains the same

I never believed that love could be for me
I didn't think I was capable of experiencing true love

Now I see clearly you were meant for me
I now realize that she is my soulmate

And now I know the truth is to be with you
I understand that being with her is the right choice

'Cause I know your love will always be there
I'm confident that her love for me will always be present

But surely we gon' make today, understood
We'll definitely make the present day count

If you would I'll be good
If she stays with me, I'll treat her well

Knowing at times you couldn't stand it
I know there were times when she couldn't bear our situation

Feeling taken for granted but I'm here to tell you, baby
Even though I may have taken her for granted, I want her to know

I ain't going nowhere, I'ma be right here
I'll be by her side always

Best believe, if love is all you need
Believe that love is everything we need

Ooo, wee, baby, thick like gravy
Our love is thick and sweet like gravy

Ups and downs, highs and lows
We've had our share of good and bad times

Where we'll stop only love knows
Our love will determine where we end up

It ain't gonna be this way
We won't continue like this

We can work it out if we take our time
We can resolve our issues if we give it time

One more day
Just give me one more day to prove my love
