Chris De Burgh - 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'

'Whisper words of wisdom, 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 everone sang 'Silent Night, silent night.....'

And all I really want to do is sing my songs for you

Then it's been a perfect day

Yes, it's been a perfect day
