Name: For a Day
Duration: P00H04M17S
Description: For many years, For a Day sat quietly in my folder of unfinished songs. Written in just two parts, the verses and chorus, I wasn’t satisfied with this endeavor until I finally merged it with another unrelated, unfinished melody line. After a key change, this third element developed the saxophone section that I can proudly say was played by my son, Harrison.

lyrics

If I had you for a day
Could it help us understand?
What happened to the dreams we made
To the future we had planned

For it seems I still love you
And it seems that you know
Yet we can’t be together
For our choices long ago

If I had you for a day
I would kiss you without regret
We would smile through every hour
Reliving times we can’t forget

If I had you for a day  
Years would vanish without a doubt  
And for a day, and just a day
 We could pretend it all worked out
