Another sunny sunday morning
Finds me inside
The shadows and light
Pass through the empty hallway
I gave my best mahalia jackson
But nobody cared
No round of applause acknowledging i was there

{it's been a while since painting a smile
I welcome them in and sing
"it don't mean a thing"
I haven't come clean
I haven't been me}

I closed my eyes and tried to find the song
Where did it go?
Somewhere below the cloud of cigarette smoke
But after all it's only time
I think i would begin from here
If once in the mirror
I felt there was someone there

{chorus}
