LYRICS
Move the sea, hide the sun
Yeah, you can have the moon when day is gone
Keep the first light of dawn
Take blue from the sky
Leave me the dark of night and a tear to cry, ... and a tear to cry

But when you go...

(I'll) Keep the dream alive
(If) Only one more day
Believe you're by my side, right here close to me
Help me to survive
Only one more day
Say I'm still the one, and I'll always be

Take the air that I'm breathin'
Empty all my life of
Rhyme or reason
Take away smiles and laughter, my heart and soul
You hold my destiny now in your control, ... in your control

So when you go...

(I'll) Keep the dream alive
(If) Only one more day
Believe you're by my side, right here close to me
Help me to survive
Only one more day
Say I'm still the one, and I'll always be

And if time, lingers on
In your arms, is just the place I belong

(I'll) Keep the dream alive
(If) Only one more day
Believe you're by my side, right here close to me
Help me to survive
Only one more day
Say I'm still the one, and I'll always be
