Title:
“One More Hour”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse:
Am Em
Here in the corn, under the moonlight,
G D
Counting the seconds ’til it’s daylight.
Am Em
Pocket watch in my hand, ticking slow,
G D
Oh, I wish time could go just a bit slow.

Chorus:
C G
One more hour under the Nebraska sky,
Am Em
One more hour, just you and I.
C G
In the haze of the cornfield light,
Am Em
One more hour, let’s make this night right.

Verse:
Am Em
Cornstalks swaying in the gentle breeze,
G D
Your laughter floating over the corn seas.
Am Em
Pocket watch in my hand, ticking away,
G D
Oh, how I wish we could make time stay.

Chorus:
C G
One more hour under the Nebraska sky,
Am Em
One more hour, just you and I.
C G
In the haze of the cornfield light,
Am Em
One more hour, let’s make this night right.
