On This Day of All Days
On this day of all days
My car decided to die
It wouldn't start
It wouldn't even try
Turned the key
A click
Kicked the tire
A hiss
Walked away
With a tear in my eye
We were supposed to marry today
Had to be there
At 9am
Don't know what I'm gonna say
Mother-in-Law
Will hate me more
Father-in-Law
Will knock me to the floor
Scared to death
As I burst thru the chapel door
I gaze in surprise
At the church before me
I cant believe
My eyes
Its dark
My ears
Its quiet
I look around
Not a soul to be found
What I thought would be
A day of sorrow
The pastor said the wedding
Is tomorrow
