    Story Behind the Song
    I live in Virginia, and I see how crazy people's lives are here in the DC area. I'm a stay-at-home Mom/Songwriter and I was thinking how it would be to have a full-time job, and not be able to make the time to do the things I wanted to do, the things that make me happy.

    We recorded this song at Salamone's Recording Studio in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

    Lyrics
    It Was A Great Day
    (Words & Music by Lori Kelley, Copyright 2000)

    When I woke up this morning the sun was in my face.
    And on my clock radio, they played “Amazing Grace.”
    I stumbled to the bathroom, then I sprinted for my car.
    And I sped down the freeway, just like a shootin’ star.

    Chorus:
    It was a great day for a daydream, but I didn’t have time.
    It was a great day for an ice cream, but I did not have the time.
    It was a great day for a silly wish, but I didn’t have time.
    It was a great day for the perfect kiss, but I did not have the time.

    I got to work this morning, there were papers on my desk.
    And my office looked a lot like me, that’s to say it was a mess.
    I darted for my coffee, and I downed it like a pill.
    And I dashed to beat that deadline, with no time to kill.

    Chorus

    When I got home this evening, the moon was sinking low.
    And I wondered where the day had gone, and what I had to show.
    For all the working hours, for time away from home,
    Whichever way I spend my day, I’ll spend the night alone.

    Chorus
