One More Day
The Roland Shaw Singers And Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One more night, one more night
I've been trying ooh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever




Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Asks for help in case he messes up

Hopes to make the other person see his perspective


Please give me one more night, give me one more night

One more night cos I can't wait forever
Can't wait indefinitely for the other person to reciprocate his love

Realistic that the other person may not reciprocate


And I know it's only words

Leaves the door open for the other person to change their mind


And maybe we both can learn
Sees the possibility of growth and learning in their relationship
