Chris De Burgh - Perfect Day lyrics

rate me

Oh lord, I'm tired, it's time to go to bed,<br>Way, after midnight, and the wine's gone to my head,<br>Lying here upon the shore just listening to the waves,<br>And it's been a perfect day.<br><br>Packed up a picnic and set off for the sea,<br>Taking all the back roads where no-one else would be,<br>My and you and paul and sue,<br>How we laughed the time away,<br>And we had a perfect day.<br><br>I brought along my old guitar,<br>And lying there beneath the stars,<br>We sang all the beatle songs we knew,<br>Lord you should have heard those harmonies,<br>When we did nowhere man and let it be...<br><br>My love, if we should break up,<br>Should we ever part,<br>And you're searching for some memory,<br>To help your aching heart,<br>Forget about the hurtful things,<br>That lovers often say,<br>And remember this perfect day.<br><br>Then people start coming around the fire,<br>And I was strumming at my old guitar,<br>Trying to think of something everybody knew,<br>And then you said though it's far away,<br>A christmas song would really make my day.<br>And everbody sang...<br><br>And all I really want to do,<br>Is sing songs for you,<br>Then it's been a perfect day,<br>Yes it's been a perfect day.
