Day 1 started out badly Day 2 left me perplexed I would have stopped at Day 3 gladly But Day 4 came next And as the days turn into weeks And as the weeks turn into months You start to turn into yourself You only get to do it once You close your eyes You realize-- Our days are numbered Our nights are, too There were so many I could have spent with you We got no credit for the full amount Our days were numbered But they didn't count Day 5 felt like it took ages It seemed that Day 6 would never arrive But when I looked up from turning the pages It was Day 365 How did I miss another year? And what will happen to the rest As my days all disappear? No one will process my request To add a few to spend with you Our days are numbered They've always been Events have played out They can't be pulled back in Some linger with you, some barely come to view Our days are numbered And out of order, too La la la Somehow it just occurred to me I never thought of it before You know I never thought I'd see Day 12, 034 Sounds like a lot But it's not No it's not
