Lyrics

One More Chance
[©William Livesay/David Graham]

There’s an old man sittin’ on a front porch swing
He's lookin’ down at his wedding ring
Reminiscing ‘bout his wife that passed
How the years have flown by so fast
He's reminded of his loneliness every time he sees her face
When his mind replays the movies of another time and place

One more chance is all he's asking for
One more chance at love
One more chance to feel the warmth
Like holding someone does
And one more chance to walk along this lonely avenue
With someone needing one more chance and feeling lonely too

It was the little things that kept them close
Remembering the private times the most
Walking hand in hand along a moonlit bay
A cross word never shared the light of day
He loved her so with all his heart he had no regrets
Never thought he'd be loved by a woman like her if he was placing bets

One more chance is all he's asking for
One more chance at love
One more chance to feel the warmth
Like holding someone does
And one more chance to walk along this lonely avenue
With someone needing one more chance and feeling lonely too

Now he's just a lonely man not ready to concede
The fact that he's an old man with a hunger he can't feed
But he’s still a man… he’s still a man… Oh, he’s still a man

One more chance is all he's asking for
One more chance at love
One more chance to feel the warmth
Like holding someone does
And one more chance to walk along this lonely avenue
With someone needing one more chance and feeling lonely too
One more chance is all he's asking for
One more chance at love
One more chance is all he’s asking for
