A Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day

when you are the first thing I see

The sun does not need to shine

The moon does not need to beam

If it's just you and me

 

It's a beautiful day

When the hours melt away like candles

A door does not need to open

A phone does not need to ring

If it's just you and me

 

It's a beautiful day

When we are cradling our children

They do not need to behave

They do not need to sleep

If it's just you and me

 

It's a beautiful day

When our children grow up

They do not need to be perfect

They do not need to have good jobs

If it's just you and me

 

And it was a beautiful life

when we watched our children and their children

A tear does not need to shed

A heart does not need to break

If it's just you and me
