Lyrics for Just One More Chance

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... (mmm-bo-ba-ba-boo) --- whistling --- Just one more chance (mmm-bo-ba-ba-boo) --- whistling --- 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
