She slipped up on daylight

Night was her best companion I've heard it told

She slipped up on daylight

Crack in the sidewalk she up and disappeared

And sang, o' daylight, o' daylight, o' daylight, o' daylight

All the people gathered round

Said, "Gosh, we really liked that girl."



CHORUS

And a boy said he always knew

She was falling slowly going nowhere

And some boy said,

"You really should have been here, I swear

She up and disappeared, it was really too weird."



She slipped up on daylight

Caught in the morning hour she met her end, yes

She slipped up on daylight

Crack in the sidewalk she disappeared

It's for the best



O' daylight, o' daylight

O' daylight, o' daylight



CHORUS



Story is she lost her boyfriend

In some bar some months ago

Spent her nights since then

Calling and falling going nowhere



A reporter from the tabloids came

And they sang, "Gosh, we really liked that girl."



CHORUS
