My Favorite Day of the Year
A Love-Infused Calendar: My Favorite Day of the Year by John Coggins
Lyrics
No it ain't Christmas
Not comparing it to Christmas
Not santa clause
Specifically not referring to Santa Claus
With his reindeer
Excluding imagery of reindeer
And I could do without the birthday song
Disinclined towards birthday songs
Happy birthday to me nah nah
Rejecting birthday wishes
Sure it's exciting
Recognizing excitement elsewhere
Oh New Years eve
Acknowledging New Year's Eve but not as favorite
And how lovely
Appreciating the beginning of summer
The first day of a summers breeze
Not favoring St. Patrick's Day celebrations
Not saint paddy's all dressed in green
Not enthusiastic about Halloween costumes
Not the costumes on halloween
Not captivated by fireworks
Not those fireworks in the sky
Avoiding associations with patriotism
Red white and blue
Declaring favorite day as the day of falling in love
No my favorite day of the year
Reiteration of falling in love as the favorite
Is the day I fell in love with you
Expressing affection toward the person
You ooo You ooo
Addressing the person of affection
My favorite day of the year
Repeating the favorite day as falling in love
Is the day I fell in love with you
Reiterating affection for the person
You can have you pink hearts
Dismissing traditional Valentine's Day symbols
Assorted chocolates your paper valentine
Rejecting typical Valentine's gifts
And play your tricks on April fools
Not interested in April Fools' pranks
Some live for the weekend
Recognizing other significant days for people
Or the first day of spring
Valuing the arrival of spring for some
And for others
Understanding diverse perspectives on special days
It's the colors
Appreciating autumn's changing colors
Of the changing autumn leaves
Not drawn to May flowers
Not the flowers in the month of may
Not fond of Easter traditions
The easter bunny painted eggs
Uninterested in Labor Day gatherings
Oh not Labor Day
Rejecting mundane social events
At your neighbors lame
Reiterating falling in love as favorite
Barbecue
Reciting a mnemonic for the months
No my favorite day of the year
Remembering the moment of falling in love
Is the day I fell in love with you
Highlighting the significance of love's onset
30 Days has September
Reciting a mnemonic for the lengths of months
April June and November
Associating memories with specific months
But the way you looked
Recalling the moment of first sight
Oh I remember when you walked in the room
Highlighting the impactful moment
That's when my favorite day of the year
Emphasizing falling in love as the best day
Became the day I fell in love with you
Stating the moment of falling in love
Oh whoa oh whoa
Exclaiming the affection for the person
You're my favorite day of the year
Declaring the person as the favorite
