That Was the Day lyrics

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 wall Is 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 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 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 (repeating)
