What a Beautiful Day Lyrics

What a Beautiful Day Song Lyrics


All the people stared as we took the air
and smiled to hear me say
What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day

And the band played on
as we walked along and the world went on its way
What a beautiful day,
what a beautiful day

I was napping in your arms,

you brightened up my day
On cloudy days, you made the sun shine through
But like those clouds you drifted on,
you left me here to cry
Remembering the things we used to do

All the people stared as we took the air
and smiled to hear me say
What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day

And the band played on as we walked along
and the world went on its way
What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day

Skies were gray, days were long
when you were far away
The sun would hide and never show his face
Then summer brought you back to me
and I became alive
And all the day we'd sing and talk of love


All the people stared as we took the air
and smiled to hear me say
What a beautiful day,
what a beautiful day

And the band played on
as we walked along
and the world went on its way
What a beautiful day,
what a beautiful day

Those summer days stay in my heart
as winter marches on
The swallows flow and snowflakes plough the skies

But man and sand and happy things
don't seem so far away
For thoughts of love are shining in your eyes

All the people stared as we took the air
and smiled to hear me say
What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day
And the band played on as we marched along
and the world went on its way
What a beautiful day,
what a beautiful day

All the people stared as we took the air
and smiled to hear me say
What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day
And the band played on
as we walked along
and the world went on its way
What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day

"What a Beautiful Day" by Barry Everitt belongs to the songs of very warm and uncomplicated character typical for a '70s British singer-songwriter. Everitt—best known for time-recording with tracks such as "Walk On" and "What a Beautiful Day" for Satril Records in London—brings a gentle, acoustic pop and rock touch which would typify the very influences of the time on music to the table.

From the album "Walk On/ What A Beautiful Day," released January 1, 1982, a simple song like this best identifies a sense of appreciation for the simple joys in one's life underscored by the record's acoustic and pop sensibilities. But very few online mentions, specific analytical breakdowns of this particular song exist. It seems that, at its very core, the essence of this song is one that seems to revolve around themes of happiness and the beauty within the simple moments that life offers, from changing seasons to the emotional land that has been built.

Especially not various specific analyses or generally extensive discussions online about "What a Beautiful Day," in particular, which take away from the potential depth and relatability of the song. This can be seen as a movement of simpler lyrical content into popular music over time. The reasons for this trend can be interpreted through the roles of cognitive ease and mere exposure effect. The mere exposure effect is likely to show that easy, simple, repetitive lyrics are accessible to a larger audience and might be enjoyed by a larger number of people.

Without further detailed review or interpretation, it is probably best that one finds whatever value they can in the song simply by listening to the melodies and the lyrics of the song, an invitation to find joy in the simple things of life much as the artist himself has seemed to do in his career. What a Beautiful Day remembers the healing and celebratory power of music to captivate and extol the smallest pleasures of life, which are never trivial.

Those interested in further exploration of Everitt's music are highly advised to visit places where his music has been hosted and make a visit not just to listen to his tracks but also take a closer look at what the artist has contributed towards the genre and period.
