This song is SO sad, it always struck me that I don't think the "day he came" ever actually arrived. If you had met the love of your life, why would you sing such a heartbreaking song about a dreary past? To me it feels as if she hopes (almost beyond hope) that maybe the next day will be the day "he comes" - as in a constant daydream. Tomorrow never comes... Am I being too negative?
