-- Another Day, Another Hour -–

John Herlihy

Another day to give my life its chance,

Another hour to enjoy that last dance,

Another hope my frayed coat to repair,

Another dream to lay waste my despair,

Another joy to extinguish all my sorrow,

Another desire to return what I borrow,

Another promise that only I should fulfil,

Another betrayal a sure misery to instill,

Another loss to embody what I may miss,

Another love to remember that first kiss,

Another anywhere to fill the empty space,

Another somewhere to find a true place,

Another possibility in my life to employ,

Another maybe to fill my days with joy.
