Lyrics Gil Scott–Heron – Lovely Day
Text:
Smile
It’s on a clear spring mornin’
There’s not a cloud in the sky
And it’s got me out here walkin’ and wavin’ to the ladies
And I ain’t forgot for a moment all the things I need to do
But when I see that old sun shinin’, it make me feel like I can make it, too
Yes, and all I really wanna say
Is that the problems come and go,
But the sunshine seems to stay
And just look around
I think we’ve found
A lovely day
The flowers woke up bloomin’
And put on a color show just for me
The shadows dark and gloomy
I told them all to keep the hell away from me
Because I don’t feel like believin’ everything I do gon’ turn out wrong
When vibrations I’m receiving say
“Hold on, brother, just you be strong”
Yes and all I really wanna say
Is that the problems come and go,
But the sunshine seems to stay
Hey
Just look around
I think we’ve found
A lovely day
Sometimes it rains
And I feel kinda strange
Because it seems like my problems begin
And all that make me feel like I need to hear the sun say
Hey, just look around
I think we’ve found
A lovely day
I think we’ve found a lovely day
I think we’ve found a lovely, lovely
Don’t it feel like a lovely day
