One Day More

   One day more and maybe I'll find him
   If I just keep looking, keep listening to my heart
   I know he's counting on me to do all I can
   and I know he'll forgive me if I fail
   but then, I could never forgive myself

   One day more and maybe he'll hurt a little less
   If I just keep on holding him, comforting him while he cries
   I know he's counting on me to see him through this
   and I know he'll forgive me if I cry too
   but then, that's the way it always is with us

   One day more and maybe he'll forgive me
   If I just keep on trying, keep trying to explain
   I know he's counting on me to make sense of this
   and I know he'll forgive me if I ask him to
   but then, could I ever forgive myself?

   One day more and maybe he'll come back to me
   If I just keep on praying, keeping bargaining with God
   I know he's counting on me to keep the faith for him
   and I know he'll forgive me if I can't
   but then, would I ever find that faith again?

   One day more and maybe we'll start over
   If I can just convince him that it's time for us to leave this life behind
   I know he's counting on me to stand beside him
   and I know he'll forgive me if I want us to chose a new path
   but then, what are best friends for?

THE END
