A Very Good Day
He had a very good day today
We went down to the senior center
Just a mile away
Some days he only wants to stay at home
But on Tuesdays, they play music and they dance
You should have seen him dance
They were playing Spanish music
He's a ham; he likes to make the nurses smile
Some days he can't remember who I am
But today, he was lucid for a little while
And through it all I take his pulse
I change his clothes
Where are his children? Heaven knows
It doesn't pay much, but I get through
Because I do the work that no one else will do
She had a very good day today
We went to a nearby park, where she likes to play
She's only five but she can do it all
And today we took her scooter for a ride
You should've seen her glide
And I was terrified
I spent the afternoon just running by her side
The sun came down and then I took her home
Her parents work late, I tuck her in each night
And I sing
Mahal kita
Minamahal kita
Mahal na mahal kita
Til she's asleep
She says, "I love you," and I love her too
While I do all the work her mother doesn't do
I have a family of my own
I have a daughter back at home
I send whatever I can spare
With no one singing her to sleep
And sometimes I close my eyes, and imagine I am there
Duermete (Mahal kita)
Duermete (Minamahal kita)
Hasta la madrugada
Duermete (Mahal kita)
He had a very good day today (Mahal kita)
We went down to the senior center (Minamahal kita)
Just a mile away (Mahal na mahal kita)
One day my dreams are gonna all come true
For now I do what no one wants to do
For now I do what no one wants to do
We went down to the senior center
Just a mile away
Some days he only wants to stay at home
But on Tuesdays, they play music and they dance
You should have seen him dance
They were playing Spanish music
He's a ham; he likes to make the nurses smile
Some days he can't remember who I am
But today, he was lucid for a little while
And through it all I take his pulse
I change his clothes
Where are his children? Heaven knows
It doesn't pay much, but I get through
Because I do the work that no one else will do
She had a very good day today
We went to a nearby park, where she likes to play
She's only five but she can do it all
And today we took her scooter for a ride
You should've seen her glide
And I was terrified
I spent the afternoon just running by her side
The sun came down and then I took her home
Her parents work late, I tuck her in each night
And I sing
Mahal kita
Minamahal kita
Mahal na mahal kita
Til she's asleep
She says, "I love you," and I love her too
While I do all the work her mother doesn't do

And sometimes I close my eyes, and imagine I am there
Duermete (Mahal kita)
Duermete (Minamahal kita)
Hasta la madrugada
Duermete (Mahal kita)
He had a very good day today (Mahal kita)
We went down to the senior center (Minamahal kita)
Just a mile away (Mahal na mahal kita)
One day my dreams are gonna all come true
For now I do what no one wants to do
For now I do what no one wants to do
