In 2003 I wrote 'Another Day Like Today'. It is not a typical song I would write, especially the lyrics. But the day I wrote this was one that was filled with unpleasantness. I wished that that day would not ever repeat itself. But it did; over and over again that same year.
I won't go into detail as to what exactly was going on that made life unpleasant but suffice to say that this song means a whole lot to me in terms of my feelings. That is what makes this song a rarity.
lyrics
See, there is something in your voice
Telling me I have a choice
See, myself in a different light
Perhaps then I won’t have to fight
It may just be all right
So much that I can try to say - Now I’ve got to tell it this way
But first I’ll have to trust in you before I am led astray
I can never push you away - I feel there is nothing to say
I guess I was wrong about another day like today
See, when you laugh it calms the waves
Everything I learned today
See, the beauty of your silent tears
Remembering the love we share
It never seems to fail
See, every moment has its hold
Doing all that I am told
See, flowers in the winter give
I really don’t want to live
Another day like today
