One More Day

I know I said I closed the door
but being a fool even when I say
I don't want to cry no more
what I would give for just one more day

but that would only make it worse
cause after that day has gone away
guess the next line of the verse
yes I would ask again for one more day

round and round it would never end
have to go when I really want to stay
it's real bad when you fall for a friend
how can you not want just one more day

things sure turned out to be a mess
it's hard to walk when you have feet of clay
but you know I must confess
all I can think about is one more day

if I were snowbound I would have an excuse
then you could not just turn me away
the only plan that you could deduce
would be for me to be here one more day

if I just sit and watch and make no sound
if I bow my head and begin to pray
you could pretend I was from the lost and found
then I could stay one more day
