Anyday Elegy


 

I don't know why you say goodbye always

I've been missing you a long, long time.

I've been wishing you would still be mine.

 

Won't you come back to me, another day?

Bring along that sweetness with you.

I'll be sure I'm home to greet you.

 

Walk right through that door, any time Monday morning

Walk right through that door.

Any time Monday, four o'clock Thursday

Any day you choose will do

you think you might come, on Saturday?

All your things are waiting for you

And you know I still adore you.

 

You stayed too long.

You left so suddenly.

Used up every step walking next to me

Gave up every breath just to be with me.

 

Walk right through that door any time Monday morning

Walk right through that door.

Anytime Thursday, midnight on Friday

Any day you choose will do.

 

I'll fix the days.

I'll change the hours.

I'll rearrange so time can't steal you.

You'll see how my love will heal you.

 

Why aren't you here?

I want you next to me.

There will be no pain tomorrow

No more this refrain of sorrow.

 

Walk right through that door, any time Monday morning

Walk right through that door.

Heaven surrounds you

Mercy abounds in every moment

 

This I know I don't know

why

You say goodbye always

 

I've been missing you for a long, long time

I'll be missing you for a long, long time.
