Elvis Costello - Sparkling Day Lyrics






Oh, it was such a sparkling day
That I should be singing its praises
Just to catch my senses as they slip away
But my sentences and phrases
Are about as worthless as wonder can be

And there are words that I could say
Perhaps I lack the sense of occasion
Seems that I’ve been looking down so long you see
That it seemed like up to me
I should be ashamed I’m sure you will agree

[Pre Chorus:]
So don’t go calling out for Jude or Anthony
Maybe I was lost
I’m a hopeless case
So that every night I listen carefully
But there is no message from me
No message from me

[Chorus:]
Sparkling day [x2]
Things I never said
Some things you never heard
Sparkling day [x2]
Now I wait in vain to see
That there was no message from me

When love is constant and content
You always fear some lingering temptation
Silhouettes escaping underneath locked doors
I’m astonished and amazed
Perhaps my message was erased.

[Pre Chorus:]
So don’t go calling out for Jude or Anthony
Maybe I was lost
I’m a hopeless case
So that every night I listen carefully
But there is no message from me
No message from me

[Chorus:]
Sparkling day [x2]
Things I never said
Some things you never heard
Sparkling day [x2]
Now I wait in vain to see
That there was no message from me

    Oh, it was such a sparkling day
    That I should be singing its praises
    Just to catch my senses as they slip away
    But my sentences and phrases
    Are about as worthless as wonder can be

    And there are words that I could say
    Perhaps I lack the sense of occasion
    Seems that I've been looking down so long you see
    That it seemed like up to me
    I should be ashamed I'm sure you will agree

    So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony
    Maybe I was lost
    I'm a hopeless case
    So that every night I listen carefully
    But there is no message from me
    No message from me

    Sparkling day [x2]
    Things I never said
    Some things you never heard
    Sparkling day [x2]
    Now I wait in vain to see
    That there was no message from me

    When love is constant and content
    You always fear some lingering temptation
    Silhouettes escaping underneath locked doors
    I'm astonished and amazed
    Perhaps my message was erased.

    So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony
    Maybe I was lost
    I'm a hopeless case
    So that every night I listen carefully
    But there is no message from me
    No message from me

    Sparkling day [x2]
    Things I never said
    Some things you never heard
    Sparkling day [x2]
    Now I wait in vain to see
    That there was no message from me
