Les Misérables was the most impactful live performance I have ever experienced: and I saw it about forty-five years ago, so that is saying something (not sure what, but certainly something).

Recently I missed one of my morning pills and went back to take it, so the tweaked line “One Pill More” came to mind.

With five voiced parts, here are revised lyrics to One Day More possibly appropriate to anyone having to comply with a difficult drug regimen. Ends with Éponine’s part as that seemed appropriate.

Possible singers to imagine for this One Day More! — 10th anniversary :-)

[A] One pill more
[A] Another pill, another effect on me
[A] This never-ending road to recovery
[A] The doctors who seem to know my life
[A] Will surely diagnose me another time

[A] One pill more
[B] I would have died before today
[B] How can I live with out this treatment?

[A] One pill more
[B&C] Tomorrow I’ll [you’ll] be here to stay
[B&C] And yet each day, my [your] world has started

[D]  One more pill in the early morn
[E]  Will they ever go away

[D] One more pill to end my day with
[E] They will always be with me

[D] What a life I have right now
[E] And I swear I will be true

[D] But at least I am alive
