ONE DAY

A song written for anyone who is missing someone they love very much. Whether lost or distant, forever or for now, this song is for the consolation of the unconsolable.
ONE DAY
Lyrics
One day,
One morning I rose to find my love gone away.
And all of the birds
That had sung harmoniously
Had fluttered away,
One day.
​
My, my,
Isn't it hard to tell the one you love goodbye.
And I
Don't suppose that it helps to hope
You'll ever be returning my way,
One day.
​
Those were the days and nights
Of finest memories.
Wasn't the world entirely ours
To go and see?
Now it's as empty as this feeling in my heart.
And every moment is eternity apart.
​
Hear, hear!
Those were the best days of my life with you,
My dear.
And what I wouldn't give to hold you ever so near
If just for a day,
One day.
​
Those were the days...
​
There, there.
My child, God knows that sometimes life just
Isn't fair.
When your light is gone
And there's darkness most everywhere,
Well, no one can say,
maybe
One day.
