Perfect Day lyrics

Song information

Artist: Chris De Burgh
Album: At The End Of A Perfect Day

Lyrics

Oh lord, I'm tired, it's time to go to bed
Way, after midnight, and the wine's gone to my head
Lying here upon the shore just listening to the waves
And it's been a perfect day

Packed up a picnic and set off for the sea
Taking all the back roads where no-one else would be
My and you and paul and sue
How we laughed the time away
And we had a perfect day

I brought along my old guitar
And lying there beneath the stars
We sang all the beatle songs we knew
Lord you should have heard those harmonies
When we did nowhere man and let it be..

My love, if we should break up
Should we ever part
And you're searching for some memory
To help your aching heart
Forget about the hurtful things
That lovers often say
And remember this perfect day

Then people start coming around the fire
And I was strumming at my old guitar
Trying to think of something everybody knew
And then you said "though it's far away
A christmas song would really make my day."
And everbody sang... -------------------------------> everyone* sang

And all I really want to do
Is sing songs for you
Then it's been a perfect day
Yes it's been a perfect day
