That Day

by Ellys Parker   Oct 1, 2006


I saw you there that fateful day
You looked at me and I couldn't look away

You smiled at me and said hello,
In a voice so sweet and kind.
And at that moment there,
I knew I was in love.
The thought of you, filling my mind!

I couldn't believe the chance
Of all the people in the world
I was the lucky enough to be
Caught by your glance

But as I worked up the nerve,
To try and ask you out
My plan suddenly hit a curve,
And thrust into doubt!

For there he was right next to you
Crushing all my hopes and dreams
But the thing that made it worse, the thing I forever curse.
The way you looked into his eyes,
Was the way I someday hoped you'd look in mine!

[ Why does life keep letting me down? ]
[ Pieces of me falling to the ground. ]
[ Why do things go so wrong?]
[ Why must I continue to sing this song! ]
[ When will I have my day? ]
[ Why can't things go my way! ]

Life goes by and fades away
The years change day by day
But in my mind you are to stay
Making me wish I knew what to say

For now my times up and you're already gone,
How could things go so horribly wrong?
Last thing I saw was a wisp of your hair,
And then you left to god knows where!

Why didn't I take the chance?
Try to ask you out to that dance
Maybe if I tried a little harder
But no I didn't even bother

Now I'l never get the shot
To tell you how I thought
That maybe there was something there
But now all I can do
Is shout out into the air!

[ Why does life keep letting me down? ]
[ Pieces of me falling to the ground. ]
[ Why do things go so wrong?]
[ Why must I continue to sing this song! ]
[ When will I have my day? ]
[ Why can't things go my way! ]

the time has come to look away
Maybe I'l find someone else some day
But no matter how hard I try or how much I do
I'll never be able to forget you!

Ohhhhhhh, I'll always think of you,
Forever on my mind!
Ohhhhhhh, I'll always think of you,
One of a kind!
Ohhhhhhh, I'll always think of you,
Greatest gift to mankind!

Ohhhhhhh I'll always think of....you....
