Lovely Day

(album: From South Africa To South Carolina - 1976)

Smile

It's on a clear spring morning
There's not a cloud in the sky
And it's got me out here walking and waving 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 shining, 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 blooming
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 believing 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
