Give Me One More Morning

[Verse 1]
Three mornings in a borrowed room,
Your coffee cooling by the sink.
I knew the shape your laughter took
Before I knew what I should think.
My map stayed folded in my coat;
The days kept slipping past the door.
I came here passing through, but then
I wanted nothing more.

[Pre-Chorus]
The last day finds us side by side,
Your quiet breathing, early light.
I count the minutes, lose the count—
The airport waits beyond goodbye.

[Chorus]
Give me one more morning,
One more hour before I go.
I have barely learned your ordinary,
And already I must let it go.
I’m carrying these few days with me,
But I wish they weren’t all I’d know.
Give me one more morning
Before I’m out of your life.

[Verse 2]
Your hand rests warm against my sleeve;
My bag is waiting by the stairs.
I want to ask you for a future,
But I can’t ask you to be there.

[Breakdown]
At the gate, I’ll turn around
For a face I can’t keep near.

[Final Chorus]
Give me one more morning,
One more hour before I go.
I have barely learned your ordinary—
I wish I had more time to know.
