Sparkling Day

Oh, it was such a sparkling day

That I should be singing its praises

Just to catch my senses as they slip away

But my sentences and phrases

Are about as worthless as wonder can be

And there are words that I could say

Perhaps I lack the sense of occasion

Seems that I've been looking down so long you see

That it seemed like up to me

I should be ashamed, I'm sure you will agree

So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony

Maybe I was lost, I'm a hopeless case

So that every night I listen carefully

But there was no message for me

No message for me

Sparkling day, sparkling day

Things I never said

Some things you never heard

Sparkling day, sparkling day

Now I wait in vain to see

That there was no message for me

When love is constant and content

You always fear some lingering temptation

Silhouettes escaping underneath locked doors

I'm astonished and amazed

Perhaps my message was erased

So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony

Maybe I was lost, I'm a hopeless case

But then every night I listen carefully

But there was no message for me

No message for me

Sparkling day, sparkling day

Things I never said

Some things you never heard

Sparkling day, sparkling day

Now I wait in vain to see

That there was no message from me
