Sparkling Day Lyrics - In Motion Pictures - Elvis Costello

Oh, it was such a sparkling day 

That I should be singing its praises 

Just to catch my senses as they slip away 

But my sentences and phrases 

Are about as worthless as wonder can be 

And there are words that I could say 

Perhaps I lack the sense of occasion 

Seems that I've been looking down so long you see 

That it seemed like up to me 

I should be ashamed, I'm sure you will agree 

So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony 

Maybe I was lost, I'm a hopeless case 

So that every night I listen carefully 

But there was no message for me 

No message for me

Sparkling day, sparkling day 

Things I never said 

Some things you never heard 

Sparkling day, sparkling day 

Now I wait in vain to see 

That there was no message for me 

When love is constant and content 

You always fear some lingering temptation 

Silhouettes escaping underneath locked doors 

I'm astonished and amazed 

Perhaps my message was erased 

So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony 

Maybe I was lost, I'm a hopeless case 

But then every night I listen carefully 

But there was no message for me 

No message for me

Sparkling day, sparkling day 

Things I never said 

Some things you never heard 

Sparkling day, sparkling day 

Now I wait in vain to see 

That there was no message from me
