A Lovely Day Songtext

"Lovely Day"

Smile

It′s on a clear spring mornin'
There′s not a cloud in the sky
And it's got me out here walkin' and wavin′ to the ladies
As they stroll by
And I ain′t forgot for a moment all the things I need to do
But when I see that old sun shinin', it make me feel like I can make it, too

Yes, and all I really wanna say
Is that the problems come and go,
But the sunshine seems to stay

And just look around
I think we′ve found
A lovely day


The flowers woke up bloomin'
And put on a color show just for me
The shadows dark and gloomy
I told them all to keep the hell away from me
Because I don′t feel like believin' everything I do gon′ turn out wrong
When vibrations I'm receiving say
"Hold on, brother, just you be strong"

Yes and all I really wanna say
Is that the problems come and go,
But the sunshine seems to stay
Hey

Just look around
I think we've found
A lovely day

Sometimes it rains
And I feel kinda strange
Because it seems like my problems begin
Without the sunshine on which I depend
And all that make me feel like I need to hear the sun say

Hey, just look around
I think we′ve found
A lovely day
I think we′ve found a lovely day
I think we've found a lovely, lovely
Don′t it feel like a lovely day
