ONE DAY

By James Roller, Jimmy Roller, Jim Roller

A song written for anyone who is missing someone they love very much. Whether lost or distant, forever or for now, this song is for the consolation of the unconsolable.

ONE DAY

Lyrics

One day,

One morning I rose to find my love gone away.

And all of the birds

That had sung harmoniously

Had fluttered away,

One day.

​

My, my,

Isn't it hard to tell the one you love goodbye.

And I

Don't suppose that it helps to hope

You'll ever be returning my way,

One day.

​

Those were the days and nights

Of finest memories.

Wasn't the world entirely ours

To go and see?

Now it's as empty as this feeling in my heart.

And every moment is eternity apart.

​

Hear, hear!

Those were the best days of my life with you,

My dear.

And what I wouldn't give to hold you ever so near

If just for a day,

One day.

​

Those were the days...

​

There, there. 

My child, God knows that sometimes life just

Isn't fair.

When your light is gone

And there's darkness most everywhere,

Well, no one can say,

maybe

One day.
