(McCartney/MacManus)
|
I feel such sorrow, I feel such shame
|
I know I won't arrive on time
|
Before whatever out there is gone
|
What can I do, that day is done
|
|
It's just a promise that I made
|
I said I'd walk in her parade
|
Hot scalding tears I thought would flow
|
Still in my heart they'll never show
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
That day is done
|
That day is done
|
You know where I've gone I won't be coming back
|
That day is done
|
|
Well I recall the time and place
|
When they announced her precious face
|
I thought at once my heart would burst
|
Still every time is like the first
|
|
There was applause when she stepped up
|
I wished that I could interrupt
|
I made no sign, I made no sound
|
I know I must stay underground
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
That's why she walks, or so they say
|
She always knew just what I needed
|
Now if she would just look my way
|
One time before they proceed
|
|
She sprinkles flowers in the dirt
|
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt
|
I know I'll never see her face
|
She walks away from my resting place
|
|
[Chorus]
|
