Is this the saddest day of the week

Lyrics
Is this the saddest day of the week? I have experience of which I speak Wetter than yesterday and colder too Just the sort of thing to make you feel blue
It’s the time of year, it always is Makes it possible to feel like this Summer’s far ahead, spring is round the corner But there’s no hint yet that things are getting any warmer
Is this the saddest month of the year? You know it could just be it feels sincere Is this the coldest hour of the day? Shivering bones make me feel this way
Things will change, change for the better I’ll write a song, based on your letter I know we’ll be together soon Sharing a pleasant afternoon
Is this the saddest? Is this the saddest?

The melody and chords greatly compliment this blue song. Reminds me of the song Everybody's Talkin at Me. I like it! And I like the parallel structure of the lines "the saddest ____ of the ____". Maybe add "saddest hour of the day", and work out from there to saddest "year of my life " - just a thought.
This is so nice. Just being bummed on an ugly day, that's alright! It's a fine place to be. Great job expressing the feeling!
