If I should pray, God grant me this One more day, and one more kiss In younger days, brave and wild Took you days to tame that child And when you did and he did smell That lilac smell he knew too well Once older you thought him courage Love given and talent nourished A prayer sayeth, a blessing given How are you doing up in heaven ? If I should pray, God grant me this One more day, and one more kiss On better days well gone past Once thought we were to last Who's to say who's to blame All left is memory and shame Etched in my heart's core forever Your name that echoes in that chamber Your silken touch, your sun-bright smile How pretty you'd look on that aisle If I should pray, God grant me this One more day, and one more kiss

To The Women I've Lost
If I should pray, God grant me this One more day, and one more kiss In younger days, brave and wild Took you days to tame that child And when you did and he did smell That lilac smell he knew too well Once older you thought him courage Love given and talent nourished A prayer sayeth, a blessing given How are you doing up in heaven ? If I should pray, God grant me this One more day, and one more kiss On better days well gone past Once thought we were to last Who's to say who's to blame All left is memory and shame Etched in my heart's core forever Your name that echoes in that chamber Your silken touch, your sun-bright smile How pretty you'd look on that aisle If I should pray, God grant me this One more day, and one more kiss
To my Grandmother, and a long lost lover.
