This day is the best day.
It is better than all the other days.
It is today.
They were good, but they didn’t stay.
This day is the best day.
The wall calendar will sing of May,
The clock face will sing of seven.
A day will say it is made of days
But this one looks like heaven.
This day is the best day,
It is better than the rest of the days.
It is today.
This tree makes the same pattern
Against the white sky.
Do not presume to speak for me.
I was there and I did not cry.
This day is the best day,
It is better than all the other days.
It is today.
You must put these memories away
Quietly. There is nothing to say.
It was only stuff arranged in a certain way.
It all ends in oblivion, even the faces you loved.
It all ends in oblivion, even the faces you loved.
Tell me this day is the best day.
Tell me it is better than all the other days.
Before I turn away.
Tell me today.
