Beautiful Day
Mahara McKay & Minus 8 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I woke up this morning
I said to myself
Should laugh of should I cry
It's a little bit strange building castles in the rain
So I made up my mind and said to myself

It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today
It's beautiful, beautiful day
Don't take it away

Funny little things
Can make my day
Funny little things
Can make my day

It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today
It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today
It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today




It's beautiful, beautiful day
Don't take it away

When I woke up this morning
I started my day


I said to myself
I quietly wondered


Should laugh of should I cry
Should I be happy or sad?


It's a little bit strange building castles in the rain
It's odd to imagine constructing structures while in precipitation


So I made up my mind and said to myself
I decided and whispered to myself


It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day today
Today is stunningly amazing


It's beautiful, beautiful day
What a lovely day!


Don't take it away
Please let it last


Funny little things
Small occurrences


Can make my day
Can brighten my mood
