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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
