Complete Lyrics of One More Day
Verse 1
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn’t ask for money or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you
Chorus
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
Verse 2
First thing I’d do is pray for time to crawl
I’d unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
I’d hold you every second
Say a million I love you’s
That’s what I’d do with one more day with you
Chorus
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
Outro
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day, one more day
