It's Been A Sad Sad Day

It’s been a sad sad day

My heart is hurting for the family

The broken sister, the hollow brother

     and the shells that once were parents

The helplessness of senseless tragedy

The unsaid goodbyes, the selfish drama

     and the shells that once were parents

It’s been a sad sad day

My heart is aching for your smile again

The broken front tooth, and eyes

     that twinkled and shone the sweetest softest blue

The bitterness of regret and blame

The love, the kindness, in eyes

     that twinkled and shone the sweetest softest blue

It’s been a sad sad day

My heart is yearning for a word from you

The broken hearted, the ones

     that make me laugh and the ones that make me cry

The hopelessness they draw out of you

The way your words dance, the way

     they make me fly and the way they make me cry

It’s been a sad sad day

It’s been a sad sad day

I don’t want to play

Please don’t go away

It’s been a sad sad day

It’s been a sad sad day

I don’t want to play

Please come back to stay

It’s been a sad sad day
