I'm walkin' in fields of clover watchin' clouds go driftin' over Listening as a songbird sings a special song for me Catchin' all the rays of sunshine breathin' fresh air feelin' real fine Can't remember when i felt so loose and fancy free I loved him and i left him though it wasn't my idea you know it Took a little pushin' from his side Though it took a little while i soon remembered how to smile And today will be the first day of the rest of my life Cause today will be the first day of the rest of my life I'm gonna start all over and this time i'll do it right Thought i couldn't live without him then i saw the light And today will be the first day of the rest of my life At first i thought i had a true one can't remember when i knew one That i loved and trusted like i did that man of mine Then there came the first suspicions i was sensing new additions To his list of female friends i estimated nine He lead me round by chain and collar spent my every dollar Till i realized i wasn't very bright I'm so glad i did wake up soon it would have been too late And today will be the first day of the rest of my life
