The Old Green Tennis Ball
by Chris LaVoie.........................................
If I had one more day with you
If you could walk and run
I'd take that old green tennis ball
We'd go and have some fun

We'd hike up to the lake we know
The spot you loved to swim
I'd take the old green tennis ball
And yes, I'd toss it in

If I had one more day with you
If you were young and strong
We'd jump into the car and drive
You loved to ride along

We'd drive up to that mountain trail
The one that goes straight up
We'd gaze down on the world below
And yes, I'd steal a hug

If I had one more day with you
But time does take its toll
My friend, my boy, who once was young
With grace has now grown old

And so today, I keep you close
No more you're left behind
I keep you in my heart, my friend
That's were I feel you shine

And for that old green tennis ball
The one we used to toss
I'll save it for another day
The day, the bridge, we'll cross
