“One Moment More” – performed by Mindy Smith
Hold me
Even though I know you’re leaving
And show me
All the reasons you would stay
It’s just enough to feel your breath on mine
To warm my soul and ease my mind
You’ve got to hold me and show me now
Give me
Just one part of you to cling to
And keep me
Everywhere you are
It’s just enough to steal my heart and run
And fade out with the falling sun
Oh, please don’t go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You’ve got to hold me and keep me now
Tell me how someday you’ll be returning
And maybe
Maybe I’ll believe
It’s just enough to see a shooting star
To know you’re never really far
It’s just enough to see a shooting star
To know you’re never really gone
Oh, please don’t go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
Oh, please don’t go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You’ve got to hold me and maybe I’ll believe
So hold me
Even though I know you’re leaving
“One Moment more” was performed by Mindy Smith and it is a song that can definitely spark emotions from people who have just lost a family member or a very close friend to death.
The main themes of the song are separation and letting go. These terms are very easy to say but when you are faced with situations wherein you have to be separated with the one you love, it is a very difficult challenge.
When the separation is permanent because your loved one has died, it gets even worse and it truly becomes a very difficult thing to accept. This song relates very well to people who have had family members or loved ones who passed away because of a chronic disorder. For many months or years, you have known that their death is coming.
You try to compose yourself when you are doing all the funeral planning checklist even when they are still alive and you also try to prepare yourself for the time when the disease will take away their lives. But when the actual death occurs, you can never prepare yourself for the feeling of loss.
You try to hold on to whatever memories you have with that person and you can only wish for a few more moments with them. You always want them to continue fighting even with the disease but you know that letting go will give them the peace that they want in their last days before they are taken away forever.
The line, “you’ve got to hold me and show me now” talks volumes because this tells the people that lives can be very short. You need to do what you want to do, and you need to say what you want to say before it’s too late.
This song may help people accept loss since they can relate well to the lyrics. Other funeral songs and lyrics can be looked up at www.songmeanings.net.
