lyrics

Maybe it was a Saturday
maybe it was the fall
that such details may have slipped my mind
don’t bother me at all.
’Cause no matter what the day,
the month or season too,
I remember all about that day I fell in love with you.

Just how you looked at me
the smile in your eyes,
the easy way you walked with me,
the brightness of the skies,
how light from the morning sun
sparkled through the trees,
and how the air surrounding us felt easier to breathe.

Maybe it was a Saturday, maybe it was the fall ...

How I could make you laugh,
how I could make you sigh
by reminding you that you were loved
and feeling so was I.
How I was like a little kid with a cutout valentine,
I wore that heart upon my sleeve
I thought it was for all time.

And I remember all too well the hurtful things I said.
Taking you for granted was the most stupid thing I did.
It was a yesterday when the morning sun
sparkled through the trees,
when the air surrounding me felt easier to breathe.

Maybe it was a Saturday, maybe it was the fall ...

Today’s no longer a yesterday
there’s a dark and dreary sky
it’s clouded over like the day you came to say goodbye.
Now these scattered memories
haunt the hallways of my past
reflecting in the fading light
like bits of broken glass.

Maybe it was a Saturday ...
