JUST THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY
Today is a gift! It’s so easy to get caught up in the thick of thin things with so much vying for our attention. Taking a break and recharging with those we love, may be just what we need TODAY!
Life is precious… and we never know how long we will have with those we love.
I wrote this song during Covid. It was a time that forced all of us to slow down and take an inventory of what really matters most in life! It was a difficult time for many people. I lost my mom during that time. I am so grateful for the time I was blessed to have with her doing things that were not urgent – just meaningful. She was the kind of mom that would pull over in the Autumn, at the sight of a big pile of leaves, just to jump in and play! She was a hard worker, and always had a busy schedule, but she made time to enjoy nature and create special, family memories together.
You have likely found, like we have, that a recipe for a happy family is WORK HARD/PLAY HARD and ENJOY THE JOURNEY! These motto’s help bridge differences and bring us together to create sweet memories that can sustain us during the hard times.❤️
I hope this song brings smiles and can be a reminder of what truly matters most!
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh I could be
Running around getting things done
So much needs my attention
And that list seems to grow and grow
But out my window
I see the beautiful sunshine
And I just want it to be mine
While this time is still my own
Chorus:
I want just this beautiful day with you
Doing the things that we love to do just
Keeping the sweet simple things in life
On the forefront of my mind
So let’s not let this beautiful day slip by
Doing the things that just waste our time
When memories we could be making are
the sweetest joys in life
I want just this beautiful day
Verse 2:
We could hike that
Trail that we’ve wanted to climb
But never managed to find time
And let the view just take us back
Or bring a picnic
to our favorite hideaway
And let it soak up the whole day
Finally feel the air we breathe
Chorus:
I want just this beautiful day with you
Doing the things that we love to do just
Keeping the sweet simple things in life
On the forefront of my mind
So let’s not let this beautiful day slip by
Doing the things that just waste our time
When memories we could be making are
the sweetest joys in life
I want just this beautiful day
Bridge:
Spinning plates just isn’t living
Is all we’ve gained worth what we’re missing
So come and take a day away with me
Chorus:
Having just this beautiful day with you
Doing the things that we love to do just
Keeping the sweet simple things in life
On the forefront of my mind
So let’s not let this beautiful day slip by
Doing the things that just waste our time
When memories we could be making are
the sweetest joys in life
I want just this beautiful day
Ending:
I want just this beautiful day
I want just this beautiful day
Just this beautiful day
