                   If I Could Take a Minute….

If I could take a minute out of each and every day.
To hold my child close to my heart and kiss her fears away.
If I could take a minute out of each and every week.
To play with blocks and peek-a-boo, tag or hide and seek.

If I could take a minute of any span of time.
I'd never waste a second of the pleasures that were mine.
If she could crawl upon my knee and lay her sleepy head,
upon my shoulder tenderly and dream of gingerbread.

I'd spend my time in total bliss and watch our small daughter grow,
from babyhood to childhood, knowing all there is to know.
If I could stop my aching heart and put my mind asleep,
If I could stop the flow of tears that are always on my cheek.

I only need a minute, Lord, I know she's safe with you.
But there's something real important that I had no time to do.
If you could do it for me, Lord here's a message she should know,
Tell her that I love her, then I'll let her go.
    One More Day  By Diamond Rio

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn’t ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I’d be satisfied.
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day

First thing I’d do is pray for time to crawl
I’d unplug the telephone
Keep the TV off
I’d hold you every second
Say a million I love You’s
That’s what I’d do, with one more day with you.

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I’d be satisfied.
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
