One More Night

The last light of life began to fade
In your dark blue eyes, where secrets stayed
Mysteries and love, too deep to name
I curled beside you, whispering through pain
[Verse 2]
That hard white bed, a silent stage
The beeping marked each breath you gave
My hand upon your weary chest
Begging your heart to beat, to rest
[Chorus]
Please just keep going, don’t let go
I prayed so hard, you’ll never know
Live… Live… Live… I cried
Lit candles, incense, hope defied
Take me, God, if that’s the way
Just give us one more day
[Verse 3]
I made wild promises I couldn’t keep
Offered my soul, my body, my sleep
Take his pain, give it all to me
Let him stay, let him breathe, let him be
[Bridge]
One more kiss, tender and raw
One more night held in his arms
Loving fiercely through the dark
Before the silence leaves its mark
[Chorus]
Please just keep going, don’t let go
I prayed so hard, you’ll never know
Live… Live… Live… I cried
Lit candles, incense, hope defied
Take me, God, if that’s the way
Just give us one more day
[Outro]
Please… Please… Please… I say
One more day
One more day
One more day
