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.
  
   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.
  
   That day is done...
  
   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.
  
   That day is done...
