It Happens Every Day Lyrics




The first part of every day for me is good, I've got the bus stop in my

neighborhood, Everything's on purpose, everywhere theygo, Hiding in my car
and 
running in the snow, Running with the friends they'll know for years,
I've seen 
it all from here, from here. It happens every day, before they go
to school, 
They play until the bus drives up beside my lan, And there's
always been a 
mother who waits till they are gone, Then she turns away,
Happens every day. 
Noon comes and turns this campus upside down, I watch
the students in this 
college town. You would think they're earefree, I have
seen their trials, 
Frowning into Shakespeare and practicing their smiles,
Even underlining 
Nabokov, When I am not in love, in love. It happens every
day, with their 
journals and cafes, Looking up at their reflections on the
other wall, With 
every new idea, wondering if they've changed at all, Then
they turn away, it 
happens every day. Life is as hard and as easy as they
say, Walking the staps 
we've chosen on this day. Some w
ill be
outrageous, some have rarely shown, Some will walk like couples, some 
quite
alone. As I think about the world I see, They stare and smile at me, at 
me.
It happens every day, at the crossing of the street Looking out to see

what's new and what is still the same, And the only word for lovei s

everybody's name, And that will always stay, happens everyday. And every
day 
will happen without you.
