lyrics
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY
What a beautiful day
With the sun through the trees
The blue sky agreed
“What a beautiful way
To start a great life together
In such wonderful weather”
Your father said, while giving his toast,
“And that, of all my beliefs, I believe in love most”
“What a beautiful day”
My mom said, “If your dad was alive
He’d be beaming with pride
Though he would jokingly say
‘Son tell me, when two men get married
Who carries and who’s carried?’
Although you know son, well that he knows –
That, with all his belief, the answer is both”
And the bells did ring, and a wedding band
And the choir did sing and the people did dance
And all was swell, because all is grand:
I’ll love you so well so long as I can
What a beautiful day
Both our families
And all our friends agreed
And wished us on our way
And the only one to protest
Was your ex, in jest
And the celebrant gave the government’s seal
That, on this beautiful day, we made a beautiful deal
As the Prime Minister said, “By this beautiful law
That whatever beliefs, we believe in love more”
And even your ex said, “What a beautiful day”
