“Once More”

[Written in 1989 - A personal daily prayer]

Another day has just begun

My dreams have washed up on the shore

My tears have risen with the Sun

My body quivers to the core

A shiver away...From surrender

(Oh, oh, oh, oh...)

I cry out for hope... Once more

(For one more day!)

(Chorus)

Once more! I’m a shiver away...

Yes, once more! Just a shiver away...

I feel it... (ohhh...)

Once more! It’s a matter o’ days...

Yes, once more! Just a matter o’days...

I know it....

‘Nnnn.... I won’t cave in!

Another day has come and gone

Blank balls of notes dance on my floor

Just some more lyrics gone unsung

Ooooh, I’m not a poet anymore

A shiver away... I still wonder...

Should I really try... Once more?

(One more day...)

(Chorus)

Once more! I’m a shiver away...

Yes, once more! Just a shiver away...

I feel it... (ohhh...)

Once more! It’s a matter o’ days...

Yes, once more! Just a matter o’days...

I know it....

‘Nnnn.... I won’t cave in!

Another day will see the Sun

The dreams I hold have yet to soar

And after all’s been said and done

Long gone will be the days of yore

And forever more...I’ll remember

The days I cried, yet tried... Once more

(Just one more day!)

(Chorus)

Once more! I’m a shiver away...

Yes, once more! Just a shiver away...

I feel it... (ohhh...)

Once more! It’s a matter o’ days...

Yes, once more! Just a matter o’days...

I know it....

‘Nnnn.... I won’t cave in!

(Sotto voce, in the well know air)

What a diff’rence a day makes...24 hours....

(Fade)
