Song Tribute To U2

Song tribute to U2.

There's nothin like a song
that has a social message
and a hook that keeps you rockin

That irish band called U2
has a style and unique sound
and a beat that keeps on droppin

It's a beautiful day! had it's own special way
of making everything ok... everything ok  yeah

When you're on your own and you don't know why
When you're in deep trouble and you want to cry

And you don't know why! And you don't know why!
And you don't know why! And you don't know why!

But it's a beautiful day, and it makes everything ok
It's a beautiful day, and you don't even have to stay

When you've lost your love, and you've also lost your way
When you've had enough, and you can't take one more day

Just go ahead and say, yeah yeah, go ahead and say yeah yeah
It's a beautiful day,   It's a beautiful day,    It's a beautiful day

Rock historians say this was the best song ever written
I think they are right, cause with U2 I'm totally smitten

It's a beautiful day, yeah yeah...don't let it get away!




To be sung to the melody of It's a beautiful day! By U2 of course!
