if i had One More

I drove past your house on a Friday night,

Saw the porch light on,

but it didn't feel right.

Your old blue truck was parked out front,

But you weren't there,

and I knew what I'd lost.

There's a picture of us on my dashboard still,

Two young hearts thinking time stood still.

I thought forever was a promise we'd keep,

Now I'm talking to your memory when I can't sleep.

If I could have one more night in this town,

One more chance to hold you when the sun goes down.

I'd tell you all the things I never got to say,

I'd beg you not to leave,

I'd make you wanna stay.

But the radio plays our old favorite song,

And I keep pretending you're not really gone.

Every road I take just brings me back around,

To the girl I loved in this little hometown.

Mama says I'm getting better with time,

But she don't see me when I'm losing my mind.

I still order two coffees when I stop downtown,

Then remember you're not gonna be around.

Your number's still saved in my old phone,

I stare at the screen when I'm feeling alone.

I know I should let all those memories go,

But some things you lose,

you don't ever outgrow.

Maybe someday I'll drive by your street,

And it won't hurt so bad when I see your old trees.

Maybe I'll smile

at the things we used to do,

But tonight, every song still sounds like you.

If I could have one more night in this town,

I'd hold you close till the stars came out.

I'd tell you that I loved you more than you knew,

And I'd trade every tomorrow for one more

with you. Now the radio fades and the night settles down,

I'm just another lonely heart in this town.

Some loves end, but they never leave,

You're still the best part of the life I dreamed.

So I'll drive real slow past your old front door,

Like I did a hundred times before.

And I'll

whisper your name when the stars come out,

Missing you here in this little hometown.

(missing you here...)
