Lyrics
The Last Beautiful Day
by Wilfred Kozub
When the sun awoke me this morn
I didn?t know this day I would be reborn
I thought it was just another day
From the mountains to the city I drive
And I thank God that I?m still alive
But I don?t know what ahead of me lies
This beautiful day
The radio said, ?the world is dead?
And I don?t know if I can go home
But if I turn around, let myself down
Will I see my love again
Past the corn fields, canola and rye
Blowing golden ?gainst the slate blue sky
Like a work of art that you couldn?t buy,
This beautiful day
(instrumental)
And the news man has to stay on the radio
He wants to be with his family, I know
And I cry to my windshield for us both
This last beautiful day
This last beautiful day
This last beautiful day.
