Music by Gene Martin,  Lyrics by PG Sturges ©2024

love is a collision
two souls all alone
holding on for dear life
holding heavy stones
we raised a candle
of hope and sweet delight
we prayed our little candle
would hold off the night

I was on a mission 
maybe a crusade 
to make the world a better place
to live unafraid
I thought I found a partner
we’d face the world by two
you left on a Monday
left me blue on blue 

don’t make me cry on a Monday
heaven comes down when it rains
I have to pretend
there was no end
you just slipped away

Monday Monday Monday
Monday Monday blue on blue
Monday Monday Monday
Monday Monday blue on blue

don’t make me cry on a Monday
five Mondays come this week
I’m stuck right here
all out of tears
to ride a winning streak

Don't Make Me Cry on a Monday

Sturges & Martin
