Ninepence Worth of Walking

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
Come the day when I will disappear from sight
Goodbye's made easy said with sleepy eyes
Better a tear of truth than smiling lies

Summer, Monday, when I met you I was real
Now it's winter, Friday, I no longer feel
Will you remember me as just a friend?
Or see the start of spring and not the end

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
Come the day when I will disappear from sight
Goodbye's made easy said with sleepy eyes
Better a tear of truth than smiling lies

If I didn't know you then, I know you now
And seeing doesn't last forever anyhow
So hold me close and kiss me with a smile
For I must leave you in a little while

When you wake up Monday morning, I'll be gone
Leaving with you the news of immortal song
If I stayed with you we would drift apart
This way I'm always with you in your heart

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
Come the day when I will disappear from sight
Goodbye's made easy said with sleepy eyes
Better a tear of truth than smiling lies
