a beautiful day
George & Marguerite Lyrics

Isn't it like her to look so pretty
George admires Marguerite's ability to stay composed and effortlessly beautiful, despite the emotional turmoil they're going through.

Like everything is alright
Marguerite's demeanor suggests that everything is fine, even though they both know it's not.

Like nobody cried all last night
Marguerite masks her emotions so well that it appears as if no one has shed a tear, even though in reality, they both have.

Look at the sun, oh how it's shinin'
George notices the beauty of the day, as Marguerite tries to enjoy it despite the heaviness of the moment.

Almost a picture perfect day
The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and there's a general sense of beauty in the air. If not for the sad circumstances, it would be a perfect day.

Like nobody's goin' away
Despite the fact that Marguerite is leaving, the day is so perfect that it feels as though she's not actually going anywhere.

If it were just a little colder
George wishes that the weather were less perfect, so that Marguerite would need him to hold her and they could delay the inevitable goodbye.

She might need me to hold her
If the weather were colder, Marguerite might require physical comfort to get through the goodbye.

Wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect
Ironically, the weather is so perfect that it accentuates the sadness of the situation.

There's not a cloud in the sky
The sky is clear and serene, which makes it all the more difficult to say goodbye.

It ain't rainiin' or snowin'
The weather is ideal for any other day, but it feels wrong for today, the day they have to say goodbye.

There's no cold wind blowin'
Even the absence of a cold breeze feels like a disappointment because it means Marguerite won't need George to hold her close for warmth.

It's a beautiful day for goodbye
Despite the melancholy of the situation, there's still beauty to be found in the day, and appropriate in its own way.

Isn't it like me to wait 'till she's leavin'
George recognizes that he often waits until the last minute to express his emotions or take action, and this goodbye is no exception.

To know how I feel
Only now, as Marguerite is leaving, has George truly realized how much he loves her and how important she is to him.

I love her and I always will
Despite the fact that Marguerite is leaving, George's love for her will endure forever.

In a second or a moment, forever can change
Life is unpredictable, and anything can happen in a matter of seconds that can change a person's trajectory in life.

So I'm standing here prayin' for rain
George is so desperate to delay the goodbye that he finds himself praying for the weather to change and for it to start raining.
