Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Of my heart
  • Of my heart
  • No New Year's Day to celebrate
  • No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away

Echo the hook

  • No New Year's Day to celebrate
  • No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
  • No first of Spring, no song to sing
  • In fact, here's just another ordinary day
