Start a New Day

By Bruce Clifford

Start a new day
In a new way
I hear a song you once sang
I see all of the words you penned

On a new road
In a few notes
I hear your words in my head
They start over again

If we had it all completely
Wrapped up in bow so neatly
I still hear the words that you said
Every one ringing true in my head

If we kept all completely
In our own separate time so neatly
There would still be promises said
Now what’s on the road up ahead

Start a new night
In the moonlight
I see a lyric you once wrote
I think of a line and joke

If we had it all completely
Wrapped up in bow so neatly
I still hear the words that you said
Every one ringing true in my head

If we kept all completely
In our own separate time so neatly
There would still be promises said
Now what’s on the road up ahead

Start a new day
In its own way
I hear a song you once sang
Reminding me as the alarm clock rang
