Just One More Chance Lyrics - Billie Holiday

Just one more chance 

to prove it's you alone i care for 

each night i say a little prayer for 

just one more chance 

just one more night 

to taste the kisses that enchant me 

i'd want no others if you'd grant me 

just one more chance 

i've learned the meaning of repentance 

now you're the jury at my trial 

i know that i should serve my sentence 

still, i'm hoping all the while 

you'll give me 

just one more word 

i said that i was glad to start out 

but now i'm back to cry my heart out 

for just one more chance 

we spend our lives in groping for happiness 

i found it once and tossed it aside 

i paid for it with hours of loneliness 

i've nothing to hide 

i'd bury my pride for... 

(mmm-bo-ba-ba-boo) 

--- whistling --- 

just one more chance 

(mmm-bo-ba-ba-boo) 

--- whistling --- 

just one more chance 

i've learned the meaning of repentance 

now you're the jury at my trial 

i know that i should serve my sentence 

still, i'm hoping all the while 

you'll give me 

just one more word 

i said that i was glad to start out 

but now i'm back to cry my heart out 

for just one more chance
