Fleming & John - Sadder Day lyrics

rate me

You like to eat your grits with butter, salt and sugar

You drink your coffee instant and black

I always loved the fact but thought that it was so peculiar

How you carried everything you owned in the back seat

Of your 1983 canary yellow Z

You had a unique collection of fast food bags

And all the post-it notes with quotes stuck to your dashboard

Reminding you life's not so bad

Sad, sadder day

Since I heard you went away

Sad, sadder day

When I can't see your face

What about the day you took me to Skatetown USA

It was raining and there wasn't anywhere we could play

We skated backwards while we held onto each other's hands

Made up choreography to KC and the Sunshine band

You got tired, you said you couldn't sleep last night

You stayed up praying for everybody you know's souls

And you got misty eyed when you said you weren't afraid to die

But you were scared of being alone

Sad, sadder day

Since I heard you went away

Sad, sadder day

When I can't see your face

It's been a sad, sadder day

Since I heard you went away

Sad, sadder day

When I can't see your face

Faster, my heart started beating

I've got the funniest most awful feeling

You were trying, trying to tell me something

I didn't want to know

Sad, sadder day

Since I heard you went away

Sad, sadder day

When I can't see your face

It's been a sad, sad, sadder day

There's something ruining the world today

Sad, sadder day

When I can't see your smiling face ever again
