“One More Minute With You”

Verse 1]

I saw your face in a stranger today,

My heart knew you before my mind looked away.

I search the clouds like they might let me through,

Looking for a little piece of heaven with you.

I turn old pictures like pages of time,

Trying to keep your yesterday close to mine.

I stand by your stone with a thousand things to say,

Then leave with the words that I couldn’t explain.

The clock keeps ticking, the world moves on,

But part of my heart went with you when you were gone.

I’d give a lifetime for one more minute,

One more hello, one more laugh in it.

One more hug before you let me go,

One more thing I wish I’d told you so.

Different roads, same hole in the heart,

How do you say goodbye when love won’t part?

I don’t just miss you when the teardrops fall,

I miss you in the little things most of all.

Your favorite song still catches me off guard,

A familiar street can hit twice as hard.

I hear your laughter in a room that’s still,

And for one small second, I believe I will

Turn around and find you standing there,

Like time never took you from the world we shared.

But the hardest truth that every heart must face

Is learning how to live with an empty place.

They say time heals, but here’s what they don’t know,

Some wounds learn to live where the deepest loves grow.

I’d give a lifetime for one more minute,

One more hello, one more laugh in it.

One more hug before you let me go,

One more thing I wish I’d told you so.

Different roads, same hole in the heart,

How do you say goodbye when love won’t part?

I don’t just miss you when the teardrops fall,

I miss you in the little things most of all.

If tears could build a staircase to the sky,

I’d climb every step just to see you one more time.

If love could turn the hands of time around,

You’d hear my footsteps before I made a sound.

But I can’t bargain with the stars above,

Or bring you back with the strength of my love.

So I’ll carry your name in all that I do,

And make this life count for the time I had you.

I’d give a lifetime for one more minute,

One last embrace with your arms wrapped in it.

One more “I love you,” one more “I’m okay,”

One more ordinary, unforgettable day.

Though the world says you’re gone, my heart says you’re here,

In the lessons you left and the love I still wear.

Death took the moment, but it can’t take it all,

Your love left an echo that time can’t dissolve.

I don’t just miss you when the teardrops fall,

I miss you in the little things most of all.

Outro — Soft Piano]

I still look for you when the evening turns blue,

Still catch myself thinking of telling you

All the little things that you should’ve been here to see…

I guess missing you is love with nowhere to be.

And if heaven has a window that looks down on me,

I hope you see the person you helped me to be.

Until the day when we’re together somehow,

I’ll love you for always…

I just miss you right now.
