Today Will Be The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life

[Verse 1]
I'm walking in fields of clover watching clouds go drifting over
Listening as a songbird sings a special song for me
Catching all the rays of sunshine breathing fresh air feeling real fine
Can't remember when I felt so loose and fancy free

[Verse 2]
I loved him and I left him though it wasn't my idea you know it
Took a little pushing from his side
Though it took a little while I soon remembered how to smile
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life

[Chorus]
'Cause today will be the first day of the rest of my life
I'm gonna start all over and this time I'll do it right
Thought I couldn't live without him then I saw the light
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life

[Verse 3]
At first I thought I had a true one can't remember when I knew one
That I loved and trusted like I did that man of mine
Then there came the first suspicions I was sensing new additions
To his list of female friends I estimated nine

[Verse 4]
He lead me 'round by chain and collar spent my every dollar
'Til I realized I wasn't very bright
I'm so glad I did wake up soon it would have been too late
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life

[Chorus]
'Cause today will be the first day of the rest of my life
I'm gonna start all over and this time I'll do it right
Thought I couldn't live without him then I saw the light
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life
