Just One Day

Just one day, that’s all I need
Just a day without her nagging
Just one day, I beg, I plead
But the drag just keeps on dragging

While I wish for just one Monday
Or a Friday to be free
Free to slouch and sulk and mumble
And be messy and be me

All I ask is for twelve hours
To live my life, my way
Just one simple
Awesome crazy epic day

Just one day is all I want
With my family united
Fears at bay, no fights no taunts
Just the four of us delighted

I mean look, I love my kids
I love my work, I love my life
And I love my fiancé
And in a day I’ll be his wife

And I’ll throw the perfect wedding
And I’ll throw the bride’s bouquet
And we’ll have one happy
Loving family day

Tomorrow is the wedding
And tonight is the rehearsal
And there is no room for error
I mean not one flaw

We’ve got guests in just ten hours
Dress the tables, trim my flowers
I want beauty and perfection
I want total awe

And remember that reporter
‘Cause it’s crucial that we court her
The business is depending
On this one success

Now breathe but thank you Torrey
And in fact that is the story
So get moving, move this produce
And remove this mess

One more day, she’s on my back
She’s been riding me forever
With my faults and all I lack
And all I? Oh whatever!

‘Cause I’m lazy and I’m average
And I’m sloppy for a start
And I know she’s like a daughter
Who is pretty, neat and smart

And I know the woman’s perfect
But I’ll never be that way
Not for a single
Solitary day

One more day she’ll fight and fuss
When her joy is all I’m after
It’s been a long tough time for us
And now It’s time to hear some laughter

‘Cause I only want her happy
And well, punctual and clean
But she mumbles and she grumbles
And at time she’s upright mean

She’s bright and so insightful
But those traits aren’t on display
Well not latery often
Ever not today

Ellie dear It’s not this time
Now that apron is a crime
And that sea bass isn’t freash
It’s three days dead

Mom, I really need to know if I can
Wait, now where’d she go
I’ll never draw her focus
From the bread

It’s a million little things (mom it’s just a little game)
From the racing to the rings (just a silly little game)
But I got this (and I wouldn’t even play)
‘Cause I love to work this way

But really who can tell?
It’s okay
It’s okay

Just one day that’s all we get
Til the vows, the hunt, the story
Just one day, sunrise sunset
Then the night in all its glory

Just say the word and she’ll (we’ll) be on our way
We’re on our way
In just one day
For one Stressful! Perfect! Anxions! Stellar!
Epic! Do or die! Crazy day!
