Story Behind The Song
Had just started dating my wife in September of 2001. I travel to NYC often for work and went with a friend down to Ground Zero in October, almost 1 month after the attacks. While standing as close as I could get (5 blocks) the first line of this song popped into my head. I felt that it had to be the testimony of those that had lost a loved one on that awful day, and the check I would give myself regarding my wife. I rushed back to my hotel, picked up the guitar and finished it then and there. Just one of those God-given inspirational moments.

Lyrics
If I knew that tomorrow
Would be my last day with you
Would I love you any different than today?
Or could I know that the love we shared got
Better everyday;
That I couldn't love you more if I had one more day
I can only remember
My life since there was you
And I wouldn't have it any other way
The only thing I'd wish for
If I had anything to change
I'd pray that God would always give me one more day
Cause I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the time we've spent together
Has been so wonderful
And I never want to say goodbye without making sure you know
That I never-ever wanna let you go
No I'll never, ever let you go
As I'm staring at the hollow ground
'Neath the pouring rain
Wondering if you see me down below
Could you send a whisper on the wind, and
All you need to say:
Is that I couldn't love you more if I had one more day
No you couldn't love me more if you had...
Now you have to know it's hard for me
To say goodbye this way
Just look down on me baby now and say
That you couldn't love me more if you had one more day
Cause I couldn't love you more if I had one more day
No I couldn't love you more if I had one more day
