The sun shines bright As it moves across my face I feel the light And everything is in it’s place I woke up feeling great Today was made for me And life is good, the way it should, the way it was meant to be And it’s a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day

The wind is blowing, the bells are ringin’ Children playing in the park While birds are singin’ And I’m walkin’, and I’m laughin’ Life is perfect, I’m not tryin’, it’s just happenin’ And it’s a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day
