In 1977, Bill Withers published a song titled "Lovely Day" in which at its core talks about having a positive outlook toward facing a new day. What could be considered a love song, or a tribute dedicated to feeling like you could take on the world when you look at the one you love - he sings about looking at 'someone' and then knowing it's just going to be a lovely day, no matter what.
The world is always changing - people, circumstances, weather, situations, that's really the ONLY thing we can count on. And life is hard - so we need to have motivation and a positive attitude to take on every day, no matter what. But, by looking at or to someone to be able to stay positive and know it's going to be a lovely day, no matter what in this changing hard world? That's a tall order. Sorry Bill.
Let's sing together about having a lovely day, each and every day, each and every moment. But, how about we take a look in the mirror. How about when we look at ourselves "when the day lies ahead of us, seems impossible to face..." or " something without warning, bears heavy on our mind" we take a look at ourselves and we know it's gonna be a lovely day.
Go ahead...Sing along!
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day.....
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day......
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day.....
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day......
