No band, just me and I'm no performer
Story behind the song
I don't mind getting older as long as I have someone to share the ups and downs. The bridge is from an unclaimed source, believed to have been seen on a head stone. It seemed to fit nicely.
Lyrics
ONE MORE DAY
© Ricki E. Bellos
The skin has softened
Underneath my chin
All my muscles loosened
In a battle I can’t win
A new ache in my shoulder
When I move a certain way
I don’t mind getting older
When we share the same fate
One more day, one more day
On a calendar of many I’m happy to stay
One more day
Your face across the table
Still beautiful to me
Although no longer able
To see you perfectly
I still like to stare
Your hair is just as long
As the day we married
Now white instead of blonde
One more day, one more day
On a calendar of many I’m happy to stay
One more day, one more day
How many more we’ll share no one can say
What a fearful thing
To love what death can touch
One more day, one more day
I want tomorrow more than yesterday
One more day, one more day
As long as it’s you I can take
One more day
