Give Me One More Day Lyrics - Mel Tillis

I know I promised months ago that I divorce my wife 

And you say you're tired of living in this sin 

But please be patient and don't leave I'm just too ashamed to face it 

For you she stood by me through thick and thin 

Just give me one more day and then I'll tell her 

That the home she helped me built I tear apart 

Just give me one more day and then I'll tell her cause today I haven't got a heart 

[ steel ] 

She should have been the first to know about our love affair 

But I just couldn't bear to see her tears 

Her love's been built around me and my happiness 

Now a fool like me will make it wasted years 

Just give me one more day... 

No today I haven't got a heart
