“And I won’t be there…”

There are so many things that I know I should write about but there’s a certain sadness that I simply could not shake off. Like a hovering dark cloud that just would not go away, it has taunted me for several days already.   This is my “rain, rain go away” song.  Perhaps, if I sing it as often as I can I might really live its lines one of these days.

Again in boldface are personal favorites:

One of these days
One of these very ordinary days
You’ll gonna call my name
And I won’t be there
After the days
After these very very many days
You’re gonna see the light
And I won’t be there

And on that day
Somehow I’ll find the strength to stay away
I won’t give in
I will not let myself be taken in, again
Oh no my friend

One of these days
Out of the blue you’ll start remembering
And I won’t care
‘Cause I won’t be there

Oh, and on that day
I swear I’ll find the strength somehow to stay away
I won’t give in
I will not let myself be taken in, again
Oh no my friend

That’s what I say
That’s what I tell myself… I won’t give in
So try it someday
And you’ll see that I won’t be there
No, you know, no, I won’t

These days–
I — won’t be there
No, no, no I won’t be there…
