This is probably the 2nd song I ever wrote back in 1976. i added a bridge to it this year and two verses at the end.. This is one of the many accoustic songs I tried to write.. Martin 12 string and Taylor 814 6 string..
Story behind the song
Written about when I was unemployed in 1977 and had not gone back to finish my college degree yet and I kept getting reject ion letters from job hunts. All long before internet and email so I waited for the mail everyday only to be rejected again.. Thank goodness I got my degree and a skill.. found this song in my old stuff and added a bridge to it and two verses at the end and here it is.. About the 2nd song I ever wrote..All accoustiic 12 string martin.
Lyrics
Just one More Day
Words/Music Tony DeLecce 1980 Bridge 2021
Taking my chances everyday
Hoping for something to come my way
Maybe Tomorrow will be the day
The Day I've been waiting for
Verse2
Open my Mailbox everyday
Just more ads that I'll throw away
I don't know if I can take
Just one more day
BRIDGE
If I cant my way (G/A)
to make it on my own
I don't know where I will go
I only know
I need you by my side
and everything will be alright
LEAD GUITAR
Verse3
Don't be discouraged we'll find a way
People like us are here to stay
Maybe tomorrow will be the day
The day we've been waiting for
Verse 4
Every morning I feel the same
things will get better and my life will change
If it doesn't I can't take
just one more day
Bridge
If I cant find a way
to make it on my own
I don't know where I will go
I only know
I need you by my side
and everything will be alright (And I was right)
Verse5
Taking my chances everyday
knowing that something will come my way
Maybe tomorrow will be the day
The Day I've been waiting for
Open my mailbox everyday
letter i'v been waiting for has made its way
I wont have to wait
Just one more day
Just one more day...
