Her day was born in shades of blue
Her song was sad the words were true
Her morning came too fast too soon
And died before the afternoon
Poor lady day could use some love, some sunshine
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some spring, some breezes
Lady day has too much pain
It's such a lonely face, it's such a cloudy sky
So many shadows in her eye
So many empty dreams, so many bitter times,
Just a handful of broken rhymes.
Poor lady day could use a smile, some kindness
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some dreams, some flowers
Lady day has too much pain
Just too much to say, just to much to know
Too little time to say, "Hello"
And then the evening comes, and now she doesn't cry
And it's too late to say, "Goodbye"
