This Is The Day

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed

You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red

The calender on your wall was ticking the days off

You've been reading some old letters

You smile and think how much you've changed

All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days

(chorus)

You pull back the curtain

And the sun burns into your eyes

You watch a plane go flying

Across a clear blue sky

This is the day - your life will surely change

This is the day - when things fall into place

You could have done anything, if you wanted

And all your friends and family think that you're lucky

But the side of you they'll never see

Is when you're left alone with your memories

That hold your life together - like glue
