Perfect Day
One Dollar Short Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sky it is so blue
And the birds are whistling
The happiest of tunes
The sky is blue and the grass is green
It's the best damn day I've ever seen (woah)
This is the most perfect day I've seen
Grass is green (grass is green)
This is the most perfect day
That I've ever seen
Mr. Whippy van is in the distance
Kids in the street are running for ice cream
Sounds of the laughter bring back memories
Of a time I left behind
Today I feel like the action movie hero's
Come to save the day
I'm so glad I got out of bed on a day like today
(On a day like today)
Sky is blue and the grass is green
It's the best damn day I've ever seen (woah)
This is the most perfect day I've seen
Sky is blue (sky is blue)
Grass is green (grass is green)
This is the most perfect day
That I've ever seen
On a day like today
Sky is blue and the grass is green
It's the best damn day I've ever seen (woah)
This is the most perfect day I've seen
Sky is blue (sky is blue)
Grass is green (grass is green)
This is the most perfect day
That I've ever seen
I guess it was just one of those days
