lyrics

Well, I woke up this morning with a tune in my head,
And I hastily grabbed my guitar.
I was taking all day to find something to say,
And I probably took it too far.

Because, I wrote a song.
I would sing for days and days.
Meanwhile time marches on.
Never ceases to amaze.

I was taking a shower for a couple of hours,
And I constantly sang my new tune.
I was making up verses that kept getting worse,
As I sang like a total buffoon.

But then, I wrote a song
I would sing for days and days.
Meanwhile time marches on.
Never ceases to amaze.

Well, it lifted my spirits when I had all the lyrics,
Written down in my notebook like art.
Though the song was complete,
I'm compelled to repeatedly
Sing it to commit it to heart.

Because, I wrote a song.
I would sing for days and days.
Meanwhile time marches on.
Never ceases to amaze.

I was staying on pitch while my wife in the kitchen,
Was chopping up beans with a knife.
"Dear, you sing like a bird but I've already heard it.
So, I fear it's your song or your life."

(uh-oh...)

I wrote a song.
I would sing for days and days.
Meanwhile time moseys on.
Never ceases to amaze.
