Isn't it a Lovely day

about

A catchy, sweet tune with a gritty centre.

lyrics

The cat is sleeping quietly delighting in the sun
The woman sitting next to me has come in from a run
Her husband is a charlatan she says it’s not his fault
She has a thousand secrets she keeps them in a vault
And isn’t it a lovely day today

Isn’t it a lovely day
Isn’t it a lovely day
Isn’t it a lovely day today?

The cardinal is saying there’s nobody to blame
The proof is overwhelming he denies it all the same
But what about the children who grow up with the pain?
Here and there and everywhere it’s happening again
And isn’t it a lovely day today

There’s nothing to excite me in the morning news
Lily livered politics empty points of view
The wind is making patterns out across the bay
And all of it is wonderful that’s all I have to say
And isn’t it a lovely day today

I know I’ll never be King of the World
I’m never going to call you my girl
But isn’t it a lovely day today
Walking in the park
I wanna be one of the happy people
You and me and isn’t it a lovely day
