Next morning I opened it again
There was some cheese
I wept and slept

Next day I forgot about the oven
I baked a pizza
I ate and slept

I opened the oven today
It was cold and empty
I wept and slept

Next morning I opened the oven again
There was some dough
I wept and slept

Next morning I opened it again
There was a tomato
I wept and slept

Nothing seems important
If you don't pay attention
Get up and get dressed
Celebrate like it will never end
In the end today is your day

Calendar seems full of dates
Make it extra special for a day
Have a break with your cope
Blow away for a new hope
Take a wish and let it go
