Chapters
It's a beautiful day in Hyde Park, London. Let's sing this.
The heart is blue. It shoots up through the stony ground and there's no room. No space to rent in this town. You're out of luck. And the reason that you had to care, the traffic stopped.
And you're not moving anywhere. You thought you found a friend to take you out of this place. Someone who would lend a hand in return for grace. It's a beautiful day! The sky's blue, so it feels like it's a beautiful day! It's a beautiful day.
Don't let it get away. You're on the road, but you've got no destination. You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination. You love this town,
even if it doesn't ring true. You've been all over. And spin all over you. It's a beautiful day. Oh, it's a beautiful day. Don't let it go away. It's a beautiful day.
Oh, it's a beautiful day. Touch me and take me to that other place. Teach me and know I'm not a hopeless case.
See the world in green and blue. See China right in front of you. See the canyons broken by clouds. See the fleet clearing the sea out. See the bad wind fires at night. See the oil fields at first light. And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth. After the flood and all colors came around, that was a beautiful day. Don't let it get away.
It's a beautiful day. Touch me. Take me to that other place. Reach me. I know I'm not a hopeless case. And what you don't have, you don't need it now. What you don't know, you can't feel it somehow. What you don't have, you don't need it now. No, need it now. It was a beautiful day. Beautiful day.
It's been beautiful singing today. Thank you. Warm regards from sunny London. Quite unusual.
