(lyrics by Paul Williams; music by Charles Fox, 1977)

From the album ONE ON ONE (1977)

This is the way to the freedom I've only dreamed of
These are the wings I was never allowed to try
Come closer and hear me, there's a world out there to see
I say this day belongs to me

This is the day I make lovers and friends of strangers
My turn to learn about wonderful love and care
Our love will be gentle, sentimental, spread its wings
This day belongs to you and me I believe it
If the stars are in our corner we'll have love and laughter And love is long overdue
If you see light in my sympathetic eyes, it's for you For you, all for you

This is the door I have waited so long to open
This is the day when I'm given my room to breathe
One chance in a lifetime, and my name is on the key
I say this day belongs to me I believe it
If the stars are in my corner I'll have love and laughter
This day belongs to me
