Artist/Band: Mel Tillis
Lyrics for Song: Give Me One More Day
Lyrics for Album: Old Faithful [Kapp] [1969]



(Rochelle Frazier)



I know I promised months ago that I'd divorce my wife

And you say you're tired of living in this sin

But please be patient and don't leave, I'm just ashamed to face it

For years she stood by me through thick and thin.



Just give me one more day and then I'll tell her

That the home she helped me build I'll tear apart

Just give me one more day and then I'll tell her

'Cause today I haven't got the heart.



--- Instrumental ---



She should have been the first to know about our love affair

But I just couldn't bear to see her tears

Her love's been built around me and my happiness

Now a fool like me will make it wasted years.



Just give me one more day and then I'll tell her

That the home she helped me build I'll tear apart

Just give me one more day and then I'll tell her

'Cause today I haven't got the heart.



No, today I haven't got a heart...
