Just one more day, Then I'll be on my way
So many things, I think of new ones everyday
My life was short, It went by way to fast
With every breath, It could be my last
Lots of thoughts, are running through my head
As I lie here, dying on this bed
When I first found out, I dropped down to my knees
Tell me it's not so, I beg you please
There's not much time, Sorry but it's true
It's gone to far, There's nothing we can do
Is it a better place, that I'm going to
How can it be better, than being here with you
There's just to much, I had planned to do
How about the kids, who'll drop them off at school
I tried my best, to be the greatest dad
And I thank God, for the time we had
I feel no pain, and all my family's here
It's hard to talk, and I'm not seeing very clear
Will you be ok, I whispered to my wife
Crying she said, it will be a different life
wish I could've had, just one more day
There's still so much, I need to do and say
No one wants to die, but I can't win this fight
It's my time to go, it just don't seem right
I get one more hug, and a kiss goodby
I can no longer see, but I can here them cry
My light is going dim, as I hear them pray
We thank you God for giving him that one more day
The Last Few Hours Of A Dying Young Man
Just One More Day
