Sunday

it's a gray day
Sunday

overcast
clouds
will they last
a shroud
into Monday

this day
seems to fit
my mood
my attitude
and so i sit
this Sunday

and i wait for Monday

gray
loneely
ill at ease
with my "me's"
i stay & pray
if you please

for some reason
guess it's the season
remind's me of the past
and a Life that didn't last

where did my Life go
do you know?

i'll soon be 55
i'm still alive

but what happened to the years
lost in tears
lost in fears
what happened to those years?

yesterday's
tomorrow's
day's
and sorrow's

that came my way's
always
on Sunday's

memories & histories
used ta' be's
and gone away's

there in the gray
of each Sunday

nothing will last
it's all in the past

all those years
all those tears
all those fears

i face
i re-trace
face to face

on this Sunday
when the sky is gray
what happened to yesterday?

but tomorrow is Monday
another day
that will come my way

what can i say
'cept today is Sunday
and the sky is gray

lonely i be
only
gray skies's i see

i face today
it's Sunday

how many Sunday's
have passed my ways
through all these years
through all these tears
through all these fears

and as i grow old
my story i'm told
how many gray day's
how many Sunday's
how many goin's away's
how many Love's that didn't stay's?

how many games did i play?
how many promises did i say?
how many day's that were gray?
how many did i see?
on my way
to this gray day
to this Sunday?
to who i be?

just waitin' for one more day
until Monday

today is gray
today is Sunday

and today
i pray
to see another day

not so gray
not Sunday
but Monday

but today
is still Sunday.
