Verse I wandered through the town square Like a shadow in the rain Carrying old memories And every little pain The fountain kept on singing A song I couldn't hear I was looking at the water But seeing you appear Pre-Chorus And for a moment there you were Standing where we used to be Chorus Even if my sadness Was just one day too long Even if my heartbreak Felt stronger than my song Sometimes all it takes Is one sunrise to break through the gray Sometimes things just need a day Verse I leaned a little closer And slipped beneath the light The water took the picture I'd carried every night I thought I saw your face there One last time above Like a wave returning softly To a shore it used to love Pre-Chorus Then the image faded slowly With the ripples drifting wide Chorus Even if my sadness Was just one day too long Even if my heartbreak Felt stronger than my song Sometimes all it takes Is one sunrise to break through the gray Sometimes things just need a day Bridge Then a hand reached through the water Not the one I thought I'd find An old familiar stranger From another place in time I looked up through the fountain spray And finally saw The future wasn't waiting there The future was reaching down Final Chorus Even if my sadness Lasted forty thousand miles Even if the storm clouds Stayed with me for a while You smiled and pulled me upward And somehow showed the way Maybe hearts don't need forever Maybe sometimes Things just need a day
