One Monday in February
A waltzing, accordion-led arrangement that closes one take in full swing and the other in a hushed spoken line.
The stories behind One Monday in February
- The Sound of 'One Monday in February' — A waltzing, accordion-led arrangement that closes one take in full swing and the other in a hushed spoken line.
- One Monday in February: The Day Two Rulebooks Became One — The song behind the single effective date that folded decades of separate U.S. and international device-quality rules into one standard.
Lyrics
One Monday in February,
the whole world read the same page
Two rule books, two different rooms,
for so many years apart
Mine across the ocean, yours a world away, dear heart
We kept our separate ledgers,
wrote our separate law
Until the second day of
February,
we erased the flaw
One Monday, one rulebook, mon amour, at last the same
Every hospital, every nation, calling it one name
No more two roads to travel
No more separate ways
One Monday in February
We became one day
The inspectors learned a new page too
The same week as us all
One playbook for the visit
One language for the call
C 'est fini The difference
The decades we kept apart
One Monday in February gave the whole world the same
heart
One Monday, one rulebook, mon amour, at last the same
Every hospital,
every nation calling it one name
No more two roads to travel
No more separate way
One Monday in February
We became one day
Toutes les nations, une page
One calendar,
one age
One Monday, one rulebook, mon amour, at last
the same
travel, no more separate way
One Monday in February
we became one day
One amor, one page
at last
you
