One More Word

(album: This Life - 2023)

I was watching you fall down for the first time
I knew what I had to do
I tried to hold your hand to stop you being scared
All the while in the waiting room

I wish I could be everywhere
Be present when you need me there
But sometimes I'm not at home
The only time you realise
You're holding on so tightly
Is when you're letting go

You've got friends and you won't need so much from me
And only heaven knows the things you're gonna see
But while I've got you here, just sit and talk to me
I want to, 'cause I love you

One more word while we're together
'Cause one day we will have to be apart
One more song that lasts forever
You'll hear it in your heart
You'll hear it in your heart

I kept a book of everything you ever did
You're the story of my life
Little things that only we could understand
Let's remember them tonight

You drink my beer, I drink your wine
I take your points and you take mine
We're learning everyday
The sound of voices echo around
In every home, in ever town
And never fade away

Turn your world until it's where you wanna be
Every corner, every island, every sea
But while I've got you here, just sit and talk to me
I want to, 'cause I love you

One more word while we're together
'Cause one day we will have to be apart
One more song that lasts forever
You'll hear it in your heart
You'll hear it in your heart

One more word while we're together
You'll hear it in your heart
You'll hear it in your heart
