Just One More Chance - Billie Holiday, Ray Ellis and His Orchestra

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
