What a Day Lyrics
What a day to be alive
What a day to realize I'm not dead
What a day to save a dime
What a day to die trying
What a way to say good bye
What a wonderful life now ________
What a way to use your mind
What a day to say good night
"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
(My life)
What a day to give a damn
What a day for "Gone with the Wind"
And what a day to start again
What a day to give up dry gin
"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
Let it go
Let it go from here, I don't know
Let it go
Let it go from here, I don't know
Don't know
What a day to visit Seattle
What a day for San Francisco
What a day, holy Toldeo
What a day to get in the air and go
What a day to give up smoking
What a day to absorb ____________
What a day to welcome a baby
And to begin breathing
(To begin breathing)
What a day to realize I'm not dead
What a day to save a dime
What a day to die trying
What a wonderful life now ________
What a way to use your mind
What a day to say good night
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
(My life)
What a day for "Gone with the Wind"
And what a day to start again
What a day to give up dry gin
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
Let it go from here, I don't know
Let it go
Let it go from here, I don't know
Don't know
What a day for San Francisco
What a day, holy Toldeo
What a day to get in the air and go
What a day to give up smoking
What a day to absorb ____________
What a day to welcome a baby
And to begin breathing
(To begin breathing)

this is such a great song, it's kind of melancholy but makes you really love life and all it has to offer.
some lyric corrections:
"what a wonderful life now all a lie, what a way that you survive" and "what a day to absorb jim bean and"
What a wonderful song. So sad, and depressing, but beautiful.
What a song.:P Beautiful. But I feel so torn, I don't know whether to smile or cry, or both. What do you think is happening in the song? I picture him dying or having a near-death experience and sort of floating over and observing everything beautiful he's leaving. ;(
"Bring on the evening hours," I cry "Bring on the evidence of my life"
Like he's going to be judged in heaven.
amazing.
This song isn't really sad at all, it's a confession & a celebration of life! Everyday we make choices but once you have a child your life changes, your priorities change.
"What a day to say goodbye what a wonderful life now all aligned"
He's saying it's a good time to say goodbye to his old ways he has a child & all is right with the world. The evidence of his life at this very moment is his child,
"where to go from here I don't know"
a child doesn't come with instructions so you hope you can be a good parent. He's overwhelmed with joy...I'm smiling right now because I know how he feels!
For me, this song is saying that there is always beauty, and there are always difficulties. I see this song as looking past all of that and saying that amongst the good and the bad, it is always a good day to be alive and experiencing this humanity.
