One More Day
Kenny Rogers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one more day I ask
One chance to love you
I can see your face
Everywhere I go
It's in my soul.
No matter how it goes
God only knows
I get more than I deserve
Yes, it's such an easy word
Give me one more day.
And time
Is a river that rows us along
And love will deliver us
If we hold on.
So if you think
You might not trust your heart tonight
I'm never gonna drift away
I'll wait forever if you say





You'll give me one more day.
And time...
