Holiday, Billie - Just One More Chance Lyrics






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

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

Holiday, Billie Just One More Chance Comments
  1. R.... J....

    Utterly sorrowful. Nobody could match Lady Day, even in her twilight years.


    No wonder, Sinatra broke down in tears when he learned of her death.


    The sound of a woman who knows she has reached the end of the road but is facing Eternity
    with stoic dignity. She was a class act. Amy Winehouse also loved her.


    Interestingly enough, all of her favorite singers - Lady Day, Dinah Washington and Donnie Hathaway
    never got to see old age.

  2. A.... S....

    They're aren't many singers that evoke as much emotion as Billie Holiday. It's truly remarkable considering how much her voice had been ravaged by addiction and disappointment. The talent still shines through. (She died not too long after this recording.) She was truly one of a kind.

  3. J.... S....

    the best romantic music.

    @Al Baston It's actually Al Cohn.  Ironically, however, Lester Young died just four days after the sessions for this album were completed.  Billie would pass four months later.

    @TGTSTS Billie didn't pass four months later, she was alive when the movie Cadillac Records came out lol.
