One More Time

by Matthew Welde

i can't stand to see you go

gonna miss the way you talk to me 

i'm better to have loved you; though our parting is a tragedy

you told me you found another

how can you be sure so fast?

for i am not prepared to suffer knowing i'm not your last

so i suppose that i should say what is on my mind

won't you love me one more time?

won't you love me just one more time?

 

you say you didn't like the way things ended

as if i could have made you change your mind

 

i wish you well, i truly do

but don't act like i didn't try

she grabbed my hand and said 'darling, you taught me how to fly'

then up we went into the sky

straight through the stratosphere

a galaxy was in her eye behind a glassy tear

she said 'what goes up...comes down'

and i said 'oh honey, please don't cry'

won't you love me one more time

won't you love me just one more time

one more time

one more time

just one more time
