WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY (Words & Music by Norman Wibe)

What a beautiful day, I´d say
what a beautiful day
made for two
just me and you
to be carried away

In your eyes, oh so true
all your love´s shinin´through
´cause you´re amazing
the more I´m gazing
can´t take my eyes off of you

Just to walk beside you, my dear
and have you so close and near
makes me the happiest guy
makes me wanna fly, so high,
yes, so high, oh, my, oh, my, oh my

Walking around with you
dark skies turn to blue
just like a miracle
you´re the pinnacle
of my life, that´s true

Just to walk beside you, my dear
and have you so close and near
makes me the happiest guy
makes me wanna fly, so high,
yes, so high, oh, my, oh, my, oh my
What a beautiful Day !!!

Cheers
Dani

Perfect song for a beloved one.
Is it yourself who make that higher pitched second voice? That's well done.

Thank you for sharing, Dani.

Dani,

A beautiful love song.

A cool backing simple and interesting, leaving plenty of room for those wonderful vocals.

Well done.

Dani, the choice of Celtic drums as a backing shows great creativity. What a great and interesting way to deliver a superb song.

Li will have a beautiful day, for sure.

You have selected very nice band for your lovely tune smile Celtic drumming with Beach Boys feeling and vocals, interesting combination. This kind of uplifting song fits nicely in the middle of the current snow chaos here in Finland.

What a song that reveals the depth of love and the joys of companionship and contentment! I too like the bodhran: It give the song a spirited ambulatory feel.

Really well done Dani smile The tune definitely lives up to the name. I love the dreamy feeling to it. A great groove, and the mix is superb. Makes it feel very floaty and gentle.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!
