Sounds Like: Allow yourself to fall in love... Did you ever notice how some people bring out the "best" or "worst" in you?... I wrote this song when I was living in New York City. It didn't matter how many days had passed or how many miles I'd been apart from someone I loved. Eventually, love gave me hope to trust this was the best for both of us, and that we would both find our mutual true loves in this lifetime... (see the full story and explanation in the Feel the Breeze CD full color liner notes)WHAT'S ANOTHER DAYLyrics & Melody: Traci ToguchiHarmony: Daniel HoWhat’s another dayWhat’s another sunriseWhat’s another sunset, without youWhat’s another night, starring at the moonIf you’re not hereChorus:Where are you nowAre you thinkin’ of meLike I’m thinkin’ of youI don’t know howI still feel the same, when I hear your nameSo what’s another day gonna doWhat’s another dayWhat’s another sunriseWhat’s another night out, without youWhat’s another moonlight, and stars so brightIf you’re not hereChorusI knew from the moment, I laid my eyes on youYou were, the one that could move meBut I know you were always there, all this time so I now can set you free, set you freeWhere are you nowAm I in your mind, like you are in mineI don’t know howI still feel the same, when I hear your nameSo what’s another day gonna do© 2005 Traci Toguchi Songs (BMI) Daniel Ho Creations (ASCAP).
