This is the Day

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 calendar on your wall is ticking the days off



You've been reading some old letters

You smile and think how much you've changed

And all the money in the world couldn't bring back those days



You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes

You watch a plane 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've done anything, if you'd 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 the memories

That hold your life together, together like glue



You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,

You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky

This is the day your life will surely change

This is the day when things fall into place



This is the day your life will surely change

This is the day when things fall into place

This is the day

This is the day
