Vanessa Peters - Favorite Day Lyrics
Have you ever bit your tongue and made it bleed?Has your voice trailed off in mid-storyTrying not to speak of me?And when she asks about the pictureI wonder what you'll tell her'Cause the world's gone public,And you can't hide me foreverAnd you could cover the tracks we left in the sandThe pictures you took only show my feet,Long & skinny & tanAnd that was my favorite dayWarm and bright and grandAnd full of hopes about to dashOn the shores of lake michiganIt would be easy enough to smile and sayI was just a good friendAnd if you give me at least that muchThen I'll understand'Cause those were younger actors playing our partsWe wouldn't know our lines now,But once we, we knew them by heartSometimes we danced around the lines,Sometimes they shifted in the dirtSometimes the weight was on my side,Sometimes you carried the hurtBut will you be as honest as you canOr dismiss me with a sideways glanceAnd pray I'll understand?'Cause that was my favorite dayWarm & bright & grandAnd full of hopes about to dashOn the shores of lake michiganIt would be easy enough to smile and sayShe was just a good friendAnd if you give me at least that muchThen I'll understand
