Just One More Time

It’s been a lonely road—away from you
Things I’ve done—things I’ve seen
I’ve often thought of you
I miss you now more than before
I miss the things you once hoped for
What I’d give—just one more time
To see you smile
To know you’re proud of what I’ve done
To know the struggles I’ve overcome
Thoughts of you carried me through
The lonely times away from you
What I’d give
To hear your voice, to listen close
The things we’ve missed—we’ll never know
What would have been if you were here
Talking together through the years
The countless joys they’ll never show
What I’d give
To share with you just like before
Time claimed you in your younger years
But in my sorrow I have grown
And thank you now—for what is clear
What you gave I’ll always have
But what I’d give—just one more time
Just one more time—to have you here
