Just One More Chance
Yearning for Redemption: Dean Martin's Plea for Just One More Chance
Lyrics
Just one more chance
Expressing a desire for an additional opportunity.
To prove it's you alone I care for
Stating the dedication and exclusive care for a specific person.
Each night I say a little prayer for
Conveying the act of praying for the person each night.
Just one more chance
Reiterating the plea for one more chance.
Just one more night
Desiring another night with the enchanting kisses of the mentioned person.
To taste the kisses that enchant me
Expressing exclusivity in the desire for the mentioned person's kisses.
I'd want no others if you'd grant me
Stating a preference for no other kisses if granted this chance.
Just one more chance
Repeating the plea for just one more chance.
I've learned the meaning of repentance
Acknowledging the understanding of repentance, indicating remorse.
Now you're the jury at my trial
Referring to the listener as the jury in a metaphorical trial.
I know that I should serve my sentence
Acknowledging the need to face consequences (serve sentence).
Still I'll hoping all the while
Expressing hope for a positive outcome despite the impending sentence.
You'll give me
Introducing the request for just one more chance.
Just one more word
Expressing a desire for a final opportunity to speak or explain.
I said that I was glad to start out
Recalling initial positivity but admitting a return to sadness.
But now I'm back to cry my heart out
Describing the current emotional state of crying one's heart out.
For just one more chance
Repeating the plea for just one more chance.
I've learned the meaning of repentance
Reiterating the understanding of repentance and the metaphorical trial.
Now you're the jury at my trial
Repeating the acknowledgment of the need to serve a sentence.
I know that I should serve my sentence
Reaffirming hope for a positive outcome despite the expected consequences.
Still I'll hoping all the while
Expressing continued hope for the listener's mercy.
You'll give me
Reintroducing the request for just one more chance.
Just one more word
Repeating the desire for a final opportunity to speak or explain.
I said that I was glad to start out
Recalling initial gladness but admitting a return to sadness.
But now I'm back to cry my heart out
Describing the current emotional state of crying one's heart out again.
For just one more chance
Reiterating the plea for just one more chance as a closing request.
