"Groundhog Day" lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman / G - C D / / / / / C - D Em / C - - D / 1st / C G D G / If I had this day to live over I don't know how I'd spend the time A weather-watcher who's sick of the weather Soul snowed in by this frozen clime But if I had this day to live over I might help others as chance affords What's the cost of just one kind gesture? I surely can spare a few friendly words When I woke up I looked at my shadow Rolled over once and went back to sleep But now, though snow still covers the meadow There's something waking up way down deep If I had this day to live over I could spend it learning to play Songs that stir my soul to remember The hopeful spark of the brightening days And if I had this day to live over I could be be beamish instead of just nice Spreading joy to my brothers and sisters Carving wonder out of the ice I think I must have been scared of my shadow I almost decided to stay in bed But now, though snow still lies thick on the meadow Seeds are sprouting inside my head If I had this day to live over I would spend it all with you Light comes back from the darkness of winter Hearts come back to a love that's true Once I used to be scared of my shadow Shut my doors and stayed safe inside Now snow lies bright on the moonlit meadow I run to the windows and fling them wide
