The Day Before the Day

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 loved 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?

And 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 loved to love

And believed we could never give enough

I didn't get to say goodbye

The day before the day

Was tryin' to get to work on time

And that's why I turned away

And missed the most important thing

You ever tried to say

I've lived my life without regret

Until today

And you who loved 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

Oh, the day before the day

The day before the day

Oh, the day before the day

Oh, the day before the day

Oh, the day before the day
