WEDNESDAY'S CHILD
(Music by Rob Wood / Lyrics by Steve McAndrew)

Verse 1
the day approaches when you travel so far away
though it's for the best now, I'm sad it's so many miles away
so much on your horizons, so much to see and so much to learn
my day dawns as your night approaches
though we share the same sun, the whole world's between us

Chorus 1
you're so fair now and you'll grow so wise
a little woe there, but there's a sparkle in your eyes
long is your journey, though you'll soon arrive
forever my thursday and sunday's child
leave me to smile as a WEDNESDAY'S CHILD

Verse 2
the tapestry that's our lives is a rich and a wondrous place
at times foreboding, other times it's so full of grace
all we need to go on is the feelings inside that were born to grow
you'll never depart from my thoughts, you'll always be here in my heart of hearts because

Chorus 2
you are so fair now and you'll grow so wise
a little woe there, but there's a sparkle in your eyes
long is your journey, though you'll soon arrive
forever my thursday and sunday's child

Middle 8
no-one said it would ever be easy
separation makes our heart's grow fonder
moving on from our yesterdays to the world ahead and our unity

Chorus 3
you are so fair now and you'll grow so wise
a little woe there, but there's a sparkle in your eyes
long is your journey, though you'll soon arrive
always my thursday and sunday's child

Guitar Solo

never on a tuesday

Outro
ooh thursday, sunday, wednesday
oh you'll never be, never be too far
ooh thursday, sunday, wednesday
oh you'll never be too far away

Comment:- This is a sad (but counterpointed with the happiness of the re-uniting) song about the departure of my two lovely sons (that make me so proud) to emigrate to New Zealand and was written shortly before their departure on to the land of the Kiwi on 07 September 2005. I love you lads.
