A Day

There is laughter
there are tears
a day to learn
a day to play
but a day is a day

No one day comes twice
nor three
nor four
nor five
because each day come just once in a life time.

Lying, thinking in bed at night
wondering what the next day would be like,
what a lovely day today, were goods was done
wishing and hoping the next would be the same
but knowing it will never happen

No one day comes twice
nor three
nor four
nor five
because each day come just once in a life time.

A day should be enjoyed
happy one day
never wanting it to stop
but a day is a day
that can’t ever be replayed

No one day comes twice
nor three
nor four
nor five
because each day come just once in a life time.

Days is like a clock that ticks
going so fast just like a click
it’s just like your partying one day
but the next thing you know
its tomorrow

No one day comes twice
nor three
nor four
nor five
because each day come just once in a life time.
