YOUR DAY

I missed your day
The day on which you came into this world
Forgot your day
It must have been so horrible without me
Nonetheless, it’s still your day
Your day, your day, your day, your day, your day

A fake candle, the kind you blow
But when you blow, it won’t go out
And so you never get your wish, but still it glows
More than one life, that’s what we need
There is so much we want to be
And yet so much of us will never have its day

A broken kiss
I really should have done much more than this
Could write a book
How to show you’re sorry when you’ve missed somebody’s birthday and they hurt

Your day, your day, your day, your day, your day, your day

A fake candle, the kind you blow
But when you blow, it won’t go out
And so you never get your wish, but still it glows
More than one life, that’s what we need
Then I could be what you believed
You saw when I first looked at you and you at me

My turtledove
They say you always hurt the one you love
Two worker bees
Busy bodies, busy signals, busy being what we chose to be

Your day, your day, your day, your day, your day, your day

A fake candle, the kind you blow
But when you blow, it won’t go out
And so you never get your wish, but still it glows
That candle’s me, that candle’s you
That candle’s everything we do
To keep alive the love that lives in you and me
If birthday wishes don’t come true
If there is nothing we can do
And it’s our fate to never share what might have been
Your candle still lights up my day
And I will love you in my way
And in that way I’m always with you everyday

I missed your day…
Your day, your day, your day, your day, your…
What we don’t say says much more than all the words we say

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.

YOUR DAY
