I stare at the TV   And I can't believe my eyes   There's no place to run   And no place to go   There's no place left to hide      I can see their faces   I can feel their pain   Our lives will never be the same      So   Forgive me if I laugh   It's just to hide the tears   Sometimes I wonder if I've wasted all those years   For all the things I felt    But forgot to say   Would you give me one more day      I sit here and wonder   Now what if that were me   If I'd lost my life   Left behind my wife    And the child that I'd never see   If I could look down on her   How would she explain   That daddy had to go away      So    Forgive me if I smile   It's just to hide my fears   And in a time of dying   Our life becomes so clear   They say the good Lord works in such mysterious ways   I just hope he gives me one more day      One more day   To look into her eyes, yeah, yeah   One more moment to say goodbye, goodbye   One more night to feel her touch   Just one more chance    So that I can tell her   How much I miss her   And tell her I love her      Someone to love   And someone to hold me   Before I fall from grace   Someone to need me   Someone to believe me   Before I lose my faith      For all the things I meant   But forgot to say   I hope you give me one more day      Forgive me if I laugh   It's just to hide the tears   Sometimes I wonder if I've wasted all those years   For all the things I felt   But forgot to say   I hope he gives me one more day
