[Verse] Sitting on the shore of a lake I have a decision to make About what to do next With the time I have left [Verse] Then along comes a man Next to me he just stands Looks down at the ground And he slowly turns around [Verse] He looks at my tearful eyes And softly asks me 'why' 'Why are you sitting here?' 'Why are your eyes filled with tears?' [Verse] I look up slowly and I say 'That years ago on this very day' 'At this very lake' 'I made a tragic mistake' [Interlude] [Verse] He slowly breathes At one with the breeze he softly sighs Then opens his eyes ... 'But look at you now', he says with a smile 'Sat at this lake', 'On this beautiful day' [Verse] He picks up a flower and says 'Where would you be now?' ... He hands the flower to me, answers ... 'Not here to see' .... [Verse] 'The miracles all around' 'In the beauty that surrounds' Turns and whispers 'Thank you for your time' More tears fill my eyes [Bridge: Uplifting increase in mood] As he walks into the sun I know what is to be done To live the rest of my days With a passion and faith That with the time I have left To always do my best And try to find a way To have a beautiful day And be thankful for the time That I have been alive ... For all the beauty I have seen ... And the places I have been The friends who know it's tough And with help from their love Found the strength to stay ... And enjoy every beautiful day [Chorus] It's a beautiful day It's a beautiful day Such a beautiful day [Fade Out] A beautiful day
