LyricsOne More LookWritten and composed by Yves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1A You used to lift me off the ground Fix what broke without a sound But now your hands, they shake a bit And sometimes words don't seem to fit Verse 1B You stare a while before you speak Forget the days, forget the weeks But I still see the man you are My hero, though the years feel far Pre-Chorus And when the world moves on too fast I'll hold your story, hold it fast They might not see you like I do But you're still strong, you're still you Chorus Let me give you one more look You're still the man I've always known Even if your mind lets go Your heart still beats the love you've shown They may forget, they may not see But Daddy, you're still whole to me So take my hand, we'll write the book All I ask... is one more look Verse 2A You struggle now to tie your shoes Drop your coffee, curse the news But I still hear that gentle tone That taught me how to stand alone Verse 2B They treat you like you're halfway gone Like your best days have come and flown But I see fire behind those eyes And strength the world can't recognize Pre-Chorus And when you drift or lose your place I'll be your light, I'll hold your grace So take my hand and let me stay We'll walk each memory anyway Chorus Let me give you one more look You're still the man I call my own The one who led me stone by stone Even now, you're not alone They may forget, they may not see But Daddy, you're still home to me So don't let go, just take a look All I ask... is one more look Bridge You gave me roots, you gave me wings Taught me hope in broken things Now let me be your steady ground When you feel lost, I'll hold you down Final Chorus (Double) So let me give you one more look Before the light begins to bend I'll love you to the quiet end You're not fading, you're just spent They may forget, they may not see But you're forever safe with me I see you whole, I see you strong I see the place where I belong Don't walk away, don't close the book All I ask... is one more look Outro Yeah... just one more look Before you go... |
| Short Song Description: "One More Look" is one of the most personal songs I've ever written -- imagined through the eyes of my daughter, looking at me as the years begin to weigh heavier, and the mind starts to wander. It's about love that doesn't fade with memory. About a daughter's strength, dignity, and unwavering compassion as she holds space for the father who once held everything for her. It's not just about aging -- it's about what remains when so much is forgotten: the bond, the grace, the quiet knowing. |
