One More Chance
Julio Iglesias Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I was far away.
I pretended that the sound I heard was just another game.
Then I looked around and noticed pieces that were gone.
You were right before me and I couldn't see the bond.
Chorus: Oh, will you give me just one more chance.
I want to try to understand.
Just give me nothing but one more chance.
Oh, will you give me just one more chance
I want to try to understand.
Just give me nothing but one more chance.
I want to make it all right.
Day by day I think I'll grow to change
Cause I can't stay the same.
I wonder why it took so long for me
To see the love was always in the way.
You were right before me and I didn't see you there.
I thought all my feelings were just begging not to care.
Chorus
I don't care what tomorrow's gonna bring.
I won't know if it's emotion or a sin.
All I need is what I've kept alive within.
Chorus

He acknowledges that he missed the chance to see love right before him, mistaking his true feelings for something else. The chorus repeats the plea for another chance to make things right. The final verse expresses the singer's resolve to keep the love inside him and to live with the consequences of his choices.

One day love came knocking on my door
A moment arrived when love had the potential to enter my life
But I was far away.
I was emotionally distant
I pretended that the sound I heard was just another game.
I dismissed love as a trivial matter
Then I looked around and noticed pieces that were gone.
I saw that something was missing in my life
You were right before me and I couldn't see the bond.
I failed to recognize the connection between us
Oh, will you give me just one more chance.
I am pleading for an opportunity to make things right
I want to try to understand.
I am willing to learn and comprehend
Just give me nothing but one more chance.
I only need a single shot at redemption
I want to make it all right.
I am determined to set everything straight
Day by day I think I'll grow to change
I believe that I can gradually transform my ways
Cause I can't stay the same.
I acknowledge that remaining stagnant is not an option
I wonder why it took so long for me
I question why I was oblivious for so long
To see the love was always in the way.
I realize that my inability to recognize love was my own hurdle
I thought all my feelings were just begging not to care.
I convinced myself that my emotions were telling me not to invest in this love
I don't care what tomorrow's gonna bring.
I am not concerned about what the future holds
I won't know if it's emotion or a sin.
I cannot discern whether my actions will be based on feelings or wrongdoing
All I need is what I've kept alive within.
I am relying on my internal motivation to guide me
Chorus
Repetition of the plea for a second chance
