The gentle sound of breathing, the murmur of the night,
The sounds that really belong in music, someday I just might.
Meantime I just lie here smiling, wide wake at dawn,
And I wonder where my bad old days have gone.
Oh, I wonder where my bad old days have gone,
When I was lost with nothing to count on.
Now I lie here smiling all night long,
And I wonder where my bad old days have gone.
The danger's in the telling, I attempted to be bright.
The truth is they were bad old days, didn't have to turn out right.
I love you more than morning, and part of the reason why,
Is you helped me kiss those bad old days goodbye.
Now, I wonder where my bad old days have gone,
When I was lost with nothing to count on.
Now I lie here smiling all night long,
And I wonder where my bad old days have gone.
[Musical interlude]
You're quiet in the morning. You like to wake up slow.
You need your coffee before you talk. I remember you tell me so.
Was it sixteen years ago? Was it yesterday?
That you came and chased my bad old days away.
Now, I wonder where my bad old days have gone,
When I was lost with nothing to count on.
Now I lie here smiling all night long,
And I wonder where my bad old days have gone.
Yes, I wonder where my bad old days have gone,
When I was lost with nothing to count on.
Now I lie here smiling all night long,
And I wonder where my bad old days have gone.
Now I lie here smiling all night long,
And I wonder where my bad old days have gone. |
