Whatever happened to Sunday

 Driving in the car Sunday morning I heard the song Sunday Morning Coming Down by Johnny Cash. And I started to remember Sunday. When we could sleep in later and listen to the music whichever parent got to the stereo first played. Went to church. And a big mid day dinner with family. Very few things were open and it was always quiet. 

What happened to that? I miss it. I am just not sure how to get Sunday back.

Where did all those people go?
