In the cold light of day
Things are much clearer then
In the cold light of day
I don't have to pretend
The things are dull or ill-conceived
I've found that love, lived that dream
In the cold, cold light of the day

In the cold light of day
There's a sense of truth
And in the cold light of day
There's only one route
To happiness and peace of mind
I'm glad I found it just in time
In the cold light of the day

And excuse me for saying but it's got to be said
In the cold light of day you just start up again
And the time that's passed ain't dissolved your faith
You just see clearly in the cold light of day

In the cold light of day
Much more to repeal
In the cold light of day
All the things you feel
Have settled down and the pressure's off
You've come around, and found that love
In the cold light of day

And excuse me for saying but it's got to be said
In the cold light of day you just start up again
And the time that's passed ain't dissolved your faith
You just see clearly in the cold light of day

In the cold light of day
So much more to see
In the cold light of day
Much more for you and me
And the time we have will be we focused on
On the things we had, not the things we've lost
In the cold light
The cold, cold light
In the cold, cold light of the day
