A Lovely Day

Song Title: A Lovely Day Artist: Bill Withers

Lyrics 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 ... When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead 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 day..... When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead 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 day...

Lovely Day (song) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   "Lovely Day" is the title of a popular song from 1977 (see 1977 in music) by the American soul / R&B singer Bill Withers. The song was written by Withers and Skip Scarborough and appears on Withers' 1978 album Menagerie. Released as a single in late 1977, "Lovely Day" peaked at #6 on the Billboard R&B chart and at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US in early 1978.[1] It also made the Top 10 in the United Kingdom, where the song reached #7 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] Withers' version of "Lovely Day" has been re-released as a single in the UK at least twice since the song's first chart run; in 1987 the song charted again at #92, while a version credited as the "Sunshine Mix" made the UK Top 10 in 1988, rising to #4.[3] This remix was done by a Dutch DJ named Ben Liebrand. Producer Clarence McDonald also arranged the original 1977 version of the song and played keyboards. Guitars were played by Ray Parker, Jr., Jerry Knight played bass, and Russell Kunkel played drums.[4] Towards the end of the song, Bill Withers holds a note for 18 seconds. This is believed to be the second-longest note in UK chart history, behind Morten Harket of A-Ha's 20-second note in Summer Moved On. [1] References ^ a b Whitburn, Joel (1996).
