THIS WASN'T ON MY LIST

I KEEP MAKING LISTS OF ALL THE STUFF I THINK THAT I SHOULD DO

THEN THE PHONE RINGS, THE 'PUTER'S DOWN,

AND I THINK OF OTHER STUFF TO DO

THEN AS I'M GETTING QUIET, AND MAKING SURE THAT MY CLOCK IS WOUND

I WRITE OF HOW MY DAY WENT, AND THE LESSONS I HAVE FOUND

THIS WAS NOT ON MY LIST, AND MY LIST DID NOT GET DONE

BUT, OH, THE STORIES I'D HAVE MISSED, BY THE SETTING OF THIS SUN

IF I STICK TO MY EVERY PLAN, I FORGET TO JUST HAVE FUN

I CAN SAY I DID MY DUTY, BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE WON

I SET A GOAL AND THEN IT SEEMS SO MANY THINGS GET IN MY WAY

SIDETRACKED BY NECESSITY,

I GET SO STRESSED OUT WHEN I'M DELAYED

OR STANDING IN THIS LINE FOR SO LONG, I FEEL LIKE I'VE WASTED MY DAY

I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT IT,

AND STILL HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO SAY

CUZ THIS WAS NOT ON MY LIST, AND MY LIST DID NOT GET DONE

BUT, OH, THE BLESSING I'VE MISSED, BY THE SETTING OF THIS SUN

I NEVER WOULD HAVE SEEN MY GOOD,

AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAVING NO FUN

I'LL GET THERE WHEN I GET THERE, NO MATTER HOW FAST I RUN
