Day After Day
Cardinal & Nun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go on and flip your cards over my dear
Queen of my heart, ace of my eye
Covered in grace cause you worked in a diner
Kind to every son and daughter
Girl, I swear this been coming for a long, long time
All great things had their beginnings
Feel it in your gaze you're just looking for some peace of mind
Took us six years and four days to finally get married
Look at me, getting all carried away
From our fears is where we will tarry on
And I swear you could show me the light
Bring me back to Jesus Christ
Cause I want more than just these earthly days
You can have all my earthly days
Go ahead, take all my earthy days
Lay awake all night in my earthly days
You can have all my earthly days
You can have all my earthly days
Go ahead, take all my earthy days
Lay awake all night in my earthly days
You can have all my earthly days
Take all my,
Take all my earthly days
In Cardinal & Nun's song Day After Day, the lyrics express a love between two people that has been growing for a long time. The first lines establish that this is not a story about the "cool kids." The singer is reassuring their partner that they are not looking for someone who is flashy or popular. They want the person they are addressing, regardless of their perceived societal status. The line "Go on and flip your cards over my dear" indicates that they want to know the person's true self, not the facade that they present to others.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's love for their partner. They call them the "queen of my heart" and the "ace of my eye." These metaphors convey the sense that this person is the most important thing to the singer. The line "Took us six years and four days to finally get married" shows that this relationship has been building for a long time. The singer seems grateful for the time they have shared together.
The final verse emphasizes the singer's desire for something more than just this life. They want to be with their partner beyond the confines of earthly existence, and they are willing to give up everything to be with them. The repeated line, "You can have all my earthly days," reinforces this idea. The singer wants to be with this person forever, and they are willing to sacrifice everything to make that happen.
