There Used To Be A Day

There Used To Be A Day

Ah, there used to be a day when we got our news every morn’

It was hand delivered, sometimes wet and sometimes torn

We traded sections over coffee and toast

Vying for those parts we loved the most

It was a very special time of the day

Gathering information and then filing it away

There were headlines, sports, comics, and obituaries

In the rolled papers hand delivered by tired secretaries

But there was no perpetual stream of information

Only the Morning News and then real conversation
