It's a Beautiful Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixty-one years of morning light, Coffee poured and doing things right. A steady hand, a heart that stays, Through all the ordinary days. You never asked for any praise, Just kept on working through the maze. [Chorus] Oh, you gave me a beautiful life, Held me steady through the strife. Grace in the little things you do, Charles, I'd choose no one but you. When the road gets long and gray, I wake up and say it's a beautiful day. [Verse 2] I ran the mower through the line, You just smiled and made it fine. You fix my messes, big and small, Never once too proud to fall. Dolly and Bella at your feet, Our little house has all it needs. [Chorus] Oh, you gave me a beautiful life, Held me steady through the strife. Grace in the little things you do, Charles, I'd choose no one but you. When the road gets long and gray, I wake up and say it's a beautiful day. [Bridge] Four grown children, standing tall, You gave your strength and gave your all. A trusting soul, a patient man, The finest love this heart has known. [Verse 3] When I doze off on the drive, I feel so safe there by your side. I open my eyes to find you near, And say the words you love to hear. Charles, the years have been so kind, Because you loved this heart of mine. [Chorus] Oh, you gave me a beautiful life, Held me steady through the strife. Grace in the little things you do, Charles, I'd choose no one but you. When the road gets long and gray, I wake up and say it's a beautiful day. [Outro] So here's to you, my faithful one, Our love still burning like the sun. And every morning, come what may, I'll wake and say it's a beautiful day.
