How's this for ambiguity, or better yet caddishness, in lyrics?

Last night I had a crazy dream

A wish was granted just for me

It could be for anything

I didn't ask for money

Or a mansion in Malibu

I simply wished, for one more day with you


One more day

If he could have anything
why would he wish for only one more day?
Leaving his options open?

Oh, but Connie...you need the rest of the song....

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you


One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you
Leave me wishing still, for one more day
Leave me wishing still, for one more day


I think this is one of the most romantic sentiments, myself

And if anyone wants to hear this, it takes a few minutes to load, but the whole song is here

Oh, what beautiful words! (Too bad they're sung as a country-music song. Sorry--but I just can't stand that.)
It didn't make me think of romance, though.
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's

When my friend Mike was still able to go places after his diagnosis, he brought me some months-early-by-necessity birthday presents. He was getting thin, but still looked like himself. We hugged at the door, and I told him, "If it would keep you like this, I'd hold you forever".

On the surface, they are very beautiful sentiments, I agree. However, Aw, didn't ya just know this was comin'?if he could wish for anything why did he wish for only one more day and not an eternity by her side? Yeah, that's my pointIf you are going to wish, wish big, I say. I have a seventeen year old comic from the Sunday funnies that has had a place of honor on every refrigerator I've had. It's a Farside. There is an elephant in the middle of the road, roadkill pizza, and a crow sleeping on a tree branch above it. Titled "When Crows Dream".
