Just One Day

I was sitting there one day watching TV and this song came on. It moved me to tears. The song seemed to say exactly what I had been thinking about. I was wishing I had one more day with my Dad. I've been spending the estate money and thinking of him a lot. It's nice to be able to buy neat stuff but I'd give it all up for one more day with my Dad. I would give it all up if I could just say goodbye to him.

There are moments which are always there. Flashbacks to old memories or hearing an old song which reminds me of him. I was shopping recently in the States and heard his song (song played at his memorial service) come over the loud speaker. It was a bit surreal considering he used to love going down to the States to get groceries. I can hear him telling me what a great deal it is to get gas or pick up some cheese or milk. I like to think that his spirit is still around and looking out for me and my family. I want to try to go visit his site for the holidays and thank him for all the nice gifts that he has given to Anakin and I and our family. I wish he could be here to celebrate the holidays with us....

These are the lyrics to that song that moved me and made me think of him. It's called Just one day...

Better Than Ezra :Just one day lyrics

If you could change the choices that you made, would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still, What would you do?
What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?

How would it feel if every dream came real?
and all the scars you have fade away for just one day
Imagine all the times you that could take back
What would you have done differently?

Thoughts in your head you never said or
a heart that you broke and left for dead

If all the pain you had could be released
How life flies by.


What would you do?
What would you say?

If everyone you love came back for just one day


How would if feel if every dream came real
and
all the scars you have fade away?

for just one day and the night all the good times and the fights
all the take and the give all the moments that we never got to live
Ohhh..... What would you do?

What would you say?

if everyone you love came back for just one day

how would it feel if every dream came real and all the scars you have fade a way
repeat

For just one day (x's 2)

If you could change the choices that you made,
would you do it- today?
.........

May the force be with you all!!

My padme,
What a beautiful post, and song, and so very true; I know in your heart you'd trade it all for a day to say goodbye to your Dad. I also know that he IS still with you, his presence, his spirit and he knows just how much you love him and miss him. He's in your manner too. I see him in you.
