Our Days Are Numbered - The Mr. T Experience

Day 1 started out badly

Day 2 left me perplexed

I would have stopped at Day 3 gladly

But Day 4 came next

And as the days turn into weeks

And as the weeks turn into months

You start to turn into yourself

You only get to do it once

You close your eyes

You realize--

Our days are numbered

Our nights are, too

There were so many I could have spent with you

We got no credit for the full amount

Our days were numbered

But they didn’t count

Day 5 felt like it took ages

It seemed that Day 6 would never arrive

But when I looked up from turning the pages

It was Day 365

How did I miss another year?

And what will happen to the rest

As my days all disappear?

No one will process my request

To add a few to spend with you

Our days are numbered

They’ve always been

Events have played out

They can’t be pulled back in

Some linger with you, some barely come to view

Our days are numbered

And out of order, too

La la la

Somehow it just occurred to me

I never thought of it before

You know I never thought I’d see

Day 12,034

Sounds like a lot

But it’s not

No it’s not
