Hale - The Day You Said Goodnight

Take me as you are,
Push me off the road
The sadness,
I need this time to be with you
I’m freezing in the sun,
I’m burning in the rain
The silence;
I’m screaming, calling out your name

And I do reside in your light
Put out the fire with me and find
Yeah, you’ll lose the side of your circles
That’s what I’ll do if we say goodbye…

To be is all I gotta be
And all that I see
And all that I need is time
To me the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight

The calmness in your face
That I see through the night
The warmth of your light is pressing unto us
You didn’t ask me why
I never would have known oblivion is falling down

(Repeat Pre-Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

If you could only know me like your prayers at night
Then everything between you and me will be all right

She’s already taken,
She’s already taken,
She’s already taken me…
The day you said goodnight…

A friend of mine opened his wife’s underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: "This, - he said - isn’t any ordinary package." He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box. "She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on. Was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said: "Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion". I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less. I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day. I’ll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it. I don’t save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. The words "Someday…" and "One Day…" are fading away from my dictionary. If it’s worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don’t know what my friend’s wife would have done if she knew she wouldn’t be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I’d like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food. It’s these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come. I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters… letters that i wanted to write "One of this days". I would regret and feel sad, because I didn’t say to my brothers and sons, not times enough at least, how much I love them. Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. If you got this, it’s because someone cares for you and because, probably, there’s someone you care about. If you’re too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it "One of these days", remember that "One day" is far away… or might never come. .
