One More Day
Sinead O'Connor Lyrics

Last night I had a crazy dream
The singer had a dream that seemed outlandish and unbelievable.

A wish was granted just for me, it could be for anything
In this dream, the singer was allowed to make any wish they wanted.

I didn't ask for money or a mansion in Malibu
Despite having the opportunity to wish for anything, the singer did not choose material possessions.

I simply wished for one more day with you
The artist's only desire was to spend more time with someone they care about deeply.

One more day, one more time
The artist longs for even a brief extension of time with the other person.

One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
The singer believes that one more opportunity to see the beauty of the world alongside their loved one would be enough to feel content.

But then again I know what it would do
The singer is aware that even if their wish was granted, they would still want more time with the other person.

Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
The artist acknowledges that their desire for more time with the other person is insatiable, even in the dream world.

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
If given the chance to spend more time, the artist would want to slow down or stop time altogether to prolong the experience.

Then I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
The artist would want to eliminate any distractions that might take away from the time they have with their loved one.

I'd hold you every second say a million I love you's
The singer would make the most of every moment by showering the other person with affection and cherishing their time together.

That's what I'd do, with one more day with you
The artist knows that if granted the chance, they would do everything in their power to make the most of their time together.

Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
The singer reiterates that even with all they would do, they would still want more time with the other person, emphasizing the depth of their longing.
