The Day Before You

The song is about how life really starts to mean something once you have found the one- your soulmate. It's funny how you do not know how happy life can be before that person comes along. But my favorite part about this cut is hearing my Daddy singing it with me!! PRICELESS!!

The day before you
I was listening to Carole King
“Tapestry” was spinning
It almost got the best of me
Valentino’s takeout
Took my order just for one
Camping out on my couch
With “I Love Lucy” re-runs
That’s all I had to do, the day before you

Chorus:
May 22nd, would have never expected
I’d run smack into the man of my dreams
To a heart defeated, you were all I needed
To color my everyday black and white scene
To think I almost gave up on love ever coming true
The day before you

The day before you
I almost called up Mom and Dad
Told ‘em there was nothing for me here
That maybe I should come on back
Saw a couple on a park bench
Sitting close and holding hands
They were acting so in love
It was more than I could stand
I was such a lonely fool
The day before you

Repeat Chorus

To think I almost gave up on love ever coming true
The day before you
