The Night Before Wednesday

 

'Twas the night before Wednesday

And all through my heart

Were whispers of longing

Because we're apart

'Twas the week before Easter

And all through the night

My arms they were wanting

To hold you so tight

'Twas the month before Summer

And all through the day

I was needing you with me

And hoping you'd stay

'Twas the year before next year

'Twas the year after last

May you lighten my future

As you've brightened my past.
