Sadder Day Lyrics - Singles - Fleming & John

You like to eat your grits with butter, salt and sugar 

You drink your coffee instant and black 

I always loved the fact but thought that it was so peculiar 

How you carried everything you owned in the back seat 

Of your 1983 canary yellow Z 

You had a unique collection of fast food bags 

And all the post-it notes with quotes stuck to your dashboard 

Reminding you life's not so bad 

Sad, sadder day 

Since I heard you went away 

Sad, sadder day 

When I can't see your face 

What about the day you took me to Skatetown USA 

It was raining and there wasn't anywhere we could play 

We skated backwards while we held onto each other's hands 

Made up choreography to KC and the Sunshine band 

You got tired, you said you couldn't sleep last night 

You stayed up praying for everybody you know's souls 

And you got misty eyed when you said you weren't afraid to die 

But you were scared of being alone 

Sad, sadder day 

Since I heard you went away 

Sad, sadder day 

When I can't see your face 

It's been a sad, sadder day 

Since I heard you went away 

Sad, sadder day 

When I can't see your face 

Faster, my heart started beating 

I've got the funniest most awful feeling 

You were trying, trying to tell me something 

I didn't want to know 

Sad, sadder day 

Since I heard you went away 

Sad, sadder day 

When I can't see your face 

It's been a sad, sad, sadder day 

There's something ruining the world today 

Sad, sadder day 

When I can't see your smiling face ever again
