lovely day

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
