It's a brand new day
And I'm tired of the uncertain
I'm throwing back the curtains for some sun on my face
And now she's smiling
She's making up a song
Gonna sing it all day long and it's a happy place
Now the windows and doors
Won't stay closed anymore
And it feels like beginning again
Now the days go by
And we laugh and cry
While the dark cloud hovers nearby
We won't give in yet
We shall not forget
We still have our wonderful lives
Monday morning
I'm sleeping in again
But I'm not giving in to those old feelings
Hunker down
Put it off until tomorrow
I've got no time for sorrow's double dealings
Oh the here and now
Might get to me somehow
The truth is right here for believing
Now the days go by
And we laugh and cry
While the dark cloud hovers nearby
We won't give in yet
We shall not forget
We still have our wonderful lives
Now the days go by
And we laugh and cry
While the dark cloud hovers nearby
We won't give in yet
We shall not forget
We still have our wonderful lives
We still have our wonderful lives
We still have our wonderful life
One of two songs on the Crash of the Crown album written during the COVID-19 pandemic, the song opens with words that reflect a hopeful and positive outlook on an otherwise difficult situation. Tired of the uncertainly but recognizing a wonderful life in the midst of it all, Tommy shares with us the joy he has in having someone to share life with.
