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



You who loved 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 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 they day
