[Lyric] Once More (Jay Blanes)

[Verse 1]
Tell him this is getting harder
In this house the walls are closing in
Tell him to recover faster
And make sure they are looking after him

[Verse 2]
Tell him that this loneliness
Is getting worse since he left, and listen
Tell him this is just a scare
He’s got to fight, this is unfair, I miss him

[Chorus]
Come back, let’s play again
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
Come back, you gotta share
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
You know your smiles can cure mе when I’m sore
I need them and I need your hugs oncе more

[Verse 3]
With my grandma’s desperate message
I pick up dad and I drive through the rain
As I go inside, I have a presage
But I can’t waste time, I am almost there
[Verse 4]
Then a nurse reads in my face
That I don’t know, she holds her breath and speechless
She breaks the news, we lost the race
But offers us to see him from a distance

[Chorus]
Come back, let’s play again
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
Come back, you gotta share
More stories of your childhood, or the service, I don’t care
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
I need them and I need your hugs once more

[Bridge]
Crying, barely hanging on
My father says that hearing is the last sense to be gone
I look for the message in my phone
From my grandma isolated, quaranteening on her own
I play it for him, while she doesn’t know
He’s listening but he won’t come back home

[Chorus]
Come back, let’s play again
I know I’m gonna lose but I don’t care, it’s just a game
Come back, you gotta share
More stories with our grandkids, they are young they gotta learn
You know your smiles can cure me when I’m sore
I need them and I need your hugs once more
