One Small Day Lyrics - Ultravox

If the stack is high against you 

And the hammer's coming down 

And the time that's yours lies heavy in your hands 

Oh my sentimental friend 

The fast much reach an end 

Lying face down on the cold stone 

And they give their all to you 

But their all is slipping through your hands 

Oh my sentimental friend 

Your time will come again 

Chorus: 

One day where I didn't die a thousand times 

Where I could satisfy this life of mine 

One small day 

One day where every hour could be a joy to me 

And live a life the way it's meant to be 

One small day 

How many times has it turned against you 

How many times will they walk away 

How many times have you let depression win the fight 

Oh my sentimental friend 

We'll walk as one again 

One day where I didn't die a thousand times 

Where I could satisfy this life of mine 

One small day 

One day where every hour could be a joy to me 

And live a life the way it's meant to be 

One small day 

How many times has it turned against you 

How many times will they walk away 

One day where I didn't die a thousand times 

Where I could satisfy this life of mine 

One day where every hour could be a joy to me 

And live a life the way it's meant to be 

One day where I wouldn't feel my senses die 

Where nothing made me hang my head and cry 

One day where I could see myself as others do 

Where I could feel the strength of love at hand 

One day where I didn't die a thousand times 

Where I could satisfy this life of mine 

One day where every hour could by a joy to me 

And live a life the way it's meant to be
