(If I had to choose just one day)
If I had to choose just one day
To last my whole life through
It would surely be that Sunday
The day that I met you
Newborn whippoorwills were calling
from the hills
Summer was a-coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off
their skills
Nodding all together, I could almost
hear them whisper
"Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss
her"
If I had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled
at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer

("Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss
her")
If I had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled
at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer
