Lovely Day
The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

Here it is, another day, so dark and gloomy
My situation's real, sadness goin' through me
Because my love is not here for my kiss
All I have is thoughts of yesterday's bliss
Images of you stay on my mind
Anticipating and waiting for the clock to unwind
Anxiety plays me as dusk turns to dawn
But I could take the wait
It won't be long
As confidence grows, I start to ready myself, steady myself
Prepare myself for what lies ahead
As I dread the every minute I have to face without you here
Close but so far as the time draws near
How much more can I take, how much more, what can I do?
Just hold on tight and be strong
I know I'll make it through
Now's the time for the needs to finally go away
I feel you near and it's a lovely day

Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

That was then and this is now
My pulse rate beats fast and at last you're around
I greet you, my eyes cannot leave you
I just wanna squeeze you
As I bestow a gentle "hello"
I couldn't front and play hard to get
Because the day was long
And I felt strong ever since we met
When you appear the tensions go
Mentally calm, becomes the body, the mind and the soul
Let's cut to the chase
Before the time will waste away
So we can enjoy the walks, conversational play
Take a cruise to nowhere
Is anyone out there?
Who cares?
As long as you're here with me
The best is yet to come
Together we'll be as one
Our love has just begun
Guaranteed my love
I'll never go away
As long as you're around
It's a lovely day

Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

I wish they could last forever
The rendezvous of coming together
Meeting in places of pleasure
Times we spent were so real
And I could feel the everlasting love coming through to my appeal
But now the time has come to mind
That we must part and separate to make a start
with that thought in mind
There's only one thing to say
With you in my life
It'll be a lovely day!

Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

A lovely day!

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day" by The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. featuring Michelle Visage was released in 1992 as part of the soundtrack for the movie "The Bodyguard." The lyrics tell a story of love and anticipation, separation and reunion, and finally the joy and hope that come with being with the one you love. The first verse sets the scene of sadness and longing, with the singer missing their love and reminiscing about times past. However, as the song progresses, the mood becomes more hopeful and optimistic, with the second verse describing the excitement and happiness of finally being reunited with the lover. By the end of the song, the singer declares that as long as their love is around, every day will be a lovely day.


Throughout the song, Michelle Visage's powerful vocals convey both the pain of separation and the joy of love, backed up by the catchy melody and upbeat instrumentation. The repeated refrain of "lovely day" reinforces the message of hope and positivity, reminding the listener that even in difficult times, there is always the possibility of a better day to come.

I just needed to understand Gigi's look on the runway.

@gilliancurrie4389

Quilisha how cool would it have been if someone had done the flower look michelle wore in this video???

@brodiemontaz8124

Gillian Currie pretty sure aquaria did that look once years ago

@daviroman1198

Miss Vanjie did in the first episode of season 10

@elkinshiner5066

Good(e) replica, but I still think Gigi should’ve went with a less basic Michelle Visage look.

Michelle as a blonde actually looks very nice. Seeing her on drag race I couldn't have imagined her with anything other than dark hair.
