lyrics

Every day is like the first day of school
I cried and cried and cried
What a fool

Every day is like the last day of Spring
I cried and cried and cried
Silly thing

And I miss you
I miss you

Every day is like a birthday parade
It rained and rained and rained
All day

Every day is like the last kiss goodnight
I cried and cried and cried
Holding tight

And I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

And when it all goes wrong
You’ll find me laughing now

I miss you
I miss you
