Just One More Day

Please give me ‘til tomorrow

Before you go away

I’d beg, I’d steal or borrow

If only you would stay. 
                 

We’ve been so long together

Our hearts have grown that way

So what’s it matter whether

You stay just one more day?

Just give me ‘til tomorrow

To think and kneel and pray

To let go of the sorrow

That’s plaguing me today.

Then we’ll kiss and say goodbye

I’ll turn and walk away

I promise you I will not cry

Just give me one more day!
