Lyrics
The Day Before The Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on
Flowers won't be left in parks, work will still be done
People won't be dressed in black, babies will be born
No flags will fly, the sun will rise,
But we will know that you are gone
You who love to love and believed
We can never give enough
It wakes me every single night, thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time, have doubts at any stage?
Were you calm or were you numb, or happy just to get it done?
I've lived my life without regret until today
And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough
I didn't get to say goodbye the day before the day
Was trying to get to work on time, that's why I turned away
And missed the most important thing you've ever tried to say
I've lived my life without regret until today
And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough
And you who hoped that underneath, we all felt the same
That was until the day before the day
The day before the day
The day before the day
Ooh, the day before the day
The day before the day
Ooh, the day before the day
Ooh, the day before the day
Ooh, the day before the day
