Not The Way That It Should Be - Cliff Richard, The Shadows

The day begins, my fav’rite bird begins to sing

Tomorrow’s here, but yesterday still leaves a sting

And you’re no longer here to listen to his song

Such a shame

The morning sky above is painted red and blue

It lights the room with glowing memories of you

But you’re no longer here to share the day with me

Such a sha-a-ame

You walked right out and you left me

Not the way that it should be

Not the way that it should be, oh no

Not the way that it should be, oh no

That I remain alone when you should go

Oh no, it’s not the way that it should be at all

To leave me sitting talking to the wall

Oh no

Not the way that it should be, oh no

That I remain alone when you should go

Oh no, it’s not the way that it should be at all

To leave me sitting talking to the wall

Ooh, not the way that it should be, oh no, no, no, no

Ooh, not the way that it should be at all-lah-lah-lah-lah

Ooh, not the way that it should be at all

Ooh, not the way that it should be, oh no, no, no, no

Ooh, not the way that it…
