Just One More Chance

Bing Crosby · Centennial Anthology [2010]

Just one more chance



To prove it's you alone I care for



Each night I say a little prayer for



Just one more chance



Just one more night



To taste the kisses that enchant me



I'd want no others if you'd grant me



Just one more chance



I've learned the meaning of repentance



Now you're the jury at my trial



I know that I should serve my sentence



Still, I'm hoping all the while



You'll give me just one more word



I said that I was glad to start out



But now I'm back to cry my heart out



For just one more chance



We spend our lives in groping for happiness



I found it once and tossed it aside



I paid for it with hours of loneliness



I've nothing to hide I'd bury my pride for



Just one more chance



Just one more chance



I've learned the meaning of repentance



Now you're the jury at my trial



I know that I should serve my sentence



Still, I'm hoping all the while



You'll give me just one more word



I said that I was glad to start out



But now I'm back to cry my heart out



For just one more chance
