Perfect Day
Nilsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day
It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day

Ride with me, glide with me
Stay by my side with me through the night
Ride on the wings of the angels of love
Who are on our side

It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day




It's the perfect way
To say "I love you"

That opening scene of BCS might be my favorite cold open of the whole series. It was… well, perfect!

@jamesmmcgill

Everything went back to normal, but it's not the same anymore without Kimmy.

@kingpablo2720

Beautiful scene that really signifies the beginning of the end
