Was A Sunny Day Lyrics

Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
Was a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies

He was a navy man
Stationed in Newport news
She was a high school queen
With nothing left to lose

Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
Was a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies

Her name was Lorelei
She was his only girl
She called him Speedoo
But his christian name
Was Mr. Earl

Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
Was a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies

These are the lyrics to "Can I Forgive Him," not "Was a Sunny Day"

@BrianHatchi Brian, Pretty sure it's "Was a Sunny Day."

The song has an air of sadness to it. A summer affair, soon to be over as the sailor must soon depart. As short as it is, the genius of the lyrics is that it makes one care and want to know what happened to these people later in their lives. One hopes they will find happiness, but it doesn't seem likely.
