Clark Sisters One Of Those Days
At the risk of sounding shallow
Maybe trivial or trite
Emotional or mellowed
Well, how can I say this right?
Guess, I'm not the kind that figures
Life's all rainbows and blues skies
Still I just can't help but notice
I've got no good cause to cry
Chorus
It's just been one of those days, one of those days
Every glass half full, every drop lemonade
Just one of those days, one of those days
All my worries to bed
And my faith wide awake
Hey, hey, hey
Just one of those days
Just one of those days
There's a smile I can't turn down
For a dance across my face
And the way I see things now
A frown would just be out of place
Cause I know you're in your heaven
Yeah, with both hands on the wheel
And somehow this simple knowing
Has infected how I feel
I'm not blind to imperfections
Still a realist by trade
A pragmatic, pessimistic, over-thinker
On a break
Story Behind The Song:
I get tired of Christian musicians with sullen faces as if to say, "Jesus loves me but I'm not happy about it." But at the same time I'm such a realist that I'm also tempted to pat them on the back and say, "Thanks for not pretending Jesus makes all the hard parts of life go away." I'm such a Nirvana era, let's-be-honest kind of guy, which usually means that I dwell on the struggles of life. But if I'm really honest, I have to admit that I'm happy a great deal of the time, too. It's just not as cool to say that I guess. Oh well, I did anyway. (Psalm 28:7)
