The Day My Sunglassses Died
- A tragic rock opera -
David Ljung Madison

I remember the first time I saw them
sittin' on the store's discount shelf.
Sleek black lines, only 9.99,
I knew I had to have them myself.  Yea.

We travelled round the world,
we saw many sights.
My eyes are cool,
no matter how bright.

We shared so much,
those glasses and I.
My life so fulfilled,
until the day, the day that my sunglasses died.  Oh died!

CHORUS:  It was the perfect pair of sunglasses,
         yeah, the damn near perfect pair.
         Looked so cool, looked so fine,
         they even looked good with my hair.

         (Repeat)

Was on a rainy day it happened,
I think I might've put them on too fast.
Yes, that was the day that my sunglasses died,
The day was our very last.

(Chorus)

Searched everywhere
to find another pair,
of shades, meant just for me.
But looking far and wide,
I know that deep inside,
through those lenses, again I won't see.

(Chorus)
