Some Sweet Day

When I was 16, so eager and green
I searched for the belle of the ball
She never appeared, so often I feared
That I'd be alone after all

Night after night, I hid from the light
Until you appeared at my side
You took my hand and you told of a land
Where I would have nothing to hide

Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
I'm gonna take wings and fly

How your sweet lips would sing, saying I was a king
Whose crown had been stolen away
We get what was mine, with a little more time
And a little more out of my day

Round after round, I followed you down
But I never could find the way
Your smile disguised, a hole in your eyes
Where the door to your heart should have been

Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
I'm gonna take wings and fly

When I look in the mirror, you're standing so near
Your breath turns, my color to twine
When I turn around, there's just empty ground
There's no one's reflection but mine

But some sweet day, 'fore my life fades away
A hand will be offered to me
Not a stiff hand that turns
Calloused nor burned
But gentle, lovely, and free

Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
I'm gonna take wings and fly
