One More Day

I was in love with an amazing woman... we met as freshmen in college (she dated friends of mine) and I was immediately blown-away by her in every way (smart, funny, exciting, beautiful, accomplished, polished, sexy: the total package). Toward the end of college we dated a little; we continued our relationship from a distance after college for a few years... we grew closer and closer... in late 1983 we spent an amazing long weekend together: she was everything I could ever want or need and I was pretty sure she loved me as much as I loved her (I was totally and completely in love with her). After that weekend I began to think that my profession (I was in the military) would prevent me from allowing her to be truly happy and fulfilled in her profession because of my constant moves to different cities/countries. She was also fearful for my safety in my military profession (I was doing dangerous things most every day). Couple what I perceived about her with the fact that I lacked a lot of confidence in myself in the personal relationship arena and I eventually came to the conclusion that our love for each other would not be enough to fulfill her if she gave-up her professional life for me and my career (I was very obligated to the military for a number of years at that point)... ultimately, I thought that my life and career would cause her to be constantly worried and eventually unhappy. I loved her too much to see her unhappy or to be the cause of her unhappiness. I decided to walk away from our relationship; I've regretted it ever since. Every single day since then I've thought of her and of what we could have been together. In retrospect, I realize that we could have/would have been great. I'm married now and have a family; she never married. Although I love my wife (I have always been faithful) and my family and family life, I have never forgotten my first love and I have always been in love with her. For me this song is intensely personal because I have never stopped loving my first love and often wish I could have just one more day with her; because I am totally faithful to my wife I can never have just one more day with my first love... for me this song is exactly about my longing for something that can never be.

Personally even tho this is country shit i think this is a really sad song:( i think everyone feels like this at some point. I think its about being dumped and wanted them back. Or even about someone dying and wanted to see them one more time even tho they'd always want to be with them longer.

i think its more about a person who died and the writer misses that person they would do anything to see them again. but its almost saying that if they saw them again they wouldn;t want to let them go again. Very sad touching song. it was a good 9-11 tribute song as well.

three words--world trade center

This song almost makes me cry, as I read it. He says "he'd turn the tv off, hold her every second, say a million I love you's", why don't we take the time for these important things while we still have someone? But I think it's about either moving away or someone dying. It's all very very sad. I love the song, but it's sad to listen to it.

THis song reminds me of me and my girlfriend, cause everytime we are together (and we are together alot) we one of us, one way or the other has to leave, and we always are wanted to stay longer or one more day, but we always know we always want one more minute or one more day. but this song is as beautiful as my girlfriend(fixin to be wife). so i like this song alot.

this song will always remind me of my wife. we're seperated now and we wont be getting back together. im supossed to be leaving for dallas in a few days and i just listen to this song over and over thinking about her and our kids and how if i had one mor day i'd never let them go. Chris... i'll always love you and our beautiful kids.

I agree with all the other meanings but it could also be about being seperated by distance where you only get to see someone for a day or two at a time and you feel perfect but than one of you has to leave and you're left wishhing for exactly what you had been experiencing an hour or two ago.

You just get to know how important some things in life are, when you lose them :-(

this song is great... i never really took much thought to this song until my guyfriend was listening to this song in the car..and it just clicced to me that the song reminded me so much about him... ahahh..crazy huh?? Some incident happen b4 that and he's totally in love with my cousin, but she got married and i know he would give anything for just one more day with her...
