One More Day

One more day to cherish Another day to lie in the sun and bask Another day is my only wish A day of family, joy, and love is all I ask As the sun rises, I open my eyes extremely wide There I see all those who raised me Mom, dad, grandparents, those who have always been at my side Without all of them, who knows who I’d be I’d take my mom anywhere I can After all, she did work so hard in raising me A football game for my dad, who taught me how to be a man They’re the greatest parents in the world, and I wouldn’t trade them for any amount of money When the sun reaches its peak I’ll be on a plane that takes me anywhere I say It’s too bad I don’t have one more week But I am still very grateful to have just one more day First to the rainforest to zip line in the canopy Tropical birds all floating above the colorful ground beneath me Then it’s off to the beautiful shores of Italy Next Paris, Australia, and the Caribbean, every place I’ve wanted to be Now the day comes to a close, as I lay in the sand I plan to spend the night with the girl I love A night of romance, her and I, hand in hand We will always be together, down here on earth and up above Water slowing soaking my feet I look over at her, seeing those gorgeous, brown eyes sparkle in the moonlight A soft kiss makes my heart skip a beat Just being with her makes my night And as I close my eyes, I know this is it, but I have no fear The last second of the clock has gone away I see all those who I care about wave and shed a tear Only now seeing how lucky I was to have one more day
