Sunday
I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I’d like to know it’s more than love at first sight
And I want a Sunday kind of love
I want a a love that’s on the square
Can’t seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I’m on a lonely road that leads to no where
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do my Sunday dreaming, oh yea
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
Oh I’m hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to hold
Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love
Sunday is the seventh and final day of the week in the International Standard Calendar. It is named for the Sun from Hellenistic astrology and is a day of illumination. Associated with the Roman sun god Apollo, this is an auspicious day indeed. Apollo is known as the god of all blessings, reflecting the bright and magnanimous nature of our central star. Bursting with raw energy, almost any magic is enhanced on Sunday, yet it favors powers of growth, insight, warmth, and power. It represents the end of a cycle that begins with the shadows of the moon. Sunday culminates with an honesty of being brought completely into the light.

Sunday Customs
But the bairn o’ the Sabbas day,
Wise and bonny, good and gay
She shall come with many a charm
Hope and rest and holy calm,
Bringing quiet everywhere,
Like the hush that follows prayer.
Like the day that hails her birth
She shall bring God’s peace to earth.
