Just One More Day
JUST ONE MORE DAY
if i could see you just one more day,
i would turn around and run away
i would hope that it was just a horrible dream
yes, i know it's crass and it may sound mean
but, now my dreams have all come true
so, i guess i should be thanking you
you chose to die and go away
i never thought i'd see the day
that grief and pain could transform
like a beautiful rainbow after a storm
into real happiness and true love
your death, it seems, was a gift from above
saying this is probably wrong
but the kids didn't really mourn for too long
they're all ok and so am i
i don't feel guilty and they no longer cry
you could have just left and walked away
instead of doing what you did that day
but as they say about mysterious ways
god worked it out without delay
i'm now married to the love of my youth
I know true love and that's the truth
the kids all love her, the youngest knows no other
they even call her mom, because she's their mother
the kids also have friends in their new school
in their new town and new house with a pool
i have to be real, and i can't be fake
my life with you was a big mistake
so really if i could see you just one more day
Without a thought I'd tell you... just go away
