How can it not be?
____________________________________________________________________________________
Playing on my mental iPod this morning: "When I wake up in the morning, love
and the sunlight hurts my eyes
and something without warning, love
bears heavy on my mind. . .
. . then I look at you
and the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
and I know it's gonna be
a lovely day.
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
seems impossible to face
and someone else ahead of me
always seems to know the way. . .
. . .then I look at you
and the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
and I know it's gonna be
a lovely daaaay. . . . . "
From Bill Withers' "Lovely Day"
Sometimes it's seeing someone face to face, sometimes it's just remembering them in your heart or from a picture. . . . this tune always reminds me to think of the people who make me happy especially when I'm dragging. And it always works to lift my mood. . .which is why it has a permanent place on my mental iPod playlist.
For some reason, I'm feeling like someone else needs to add it to their list today, too.
What's on your mental iPod these days?
Bill Withers has never gotten his due as a writer or performer.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I cannot began to tell you how timely this post is! I day that started with a heavy reflection of my mom, I begin to slump and feel sad. After listening to Lovely Day, I was able to smile through my tears. Yes, a lovely day indeed!
