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 calendar on your wallIs 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

You pull back the curtains

And the sun burns into your eyes

You watch a plane flying

Across the 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 your lucky

But the side of you they'll never see

Is when you're left alone with the memories?

That hold your life

Together like glue

You pull back the curtains

And the sun burns into your eyes

You watch a plane flying

Across the 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

(This is the day)

Your life will surely change
