Perfect Day
A Harmonious Journey of Love and Memories
Lyrics
Oh Lord, I'm tired, it's time to go to bed,
Expressing fatigue and the desire to go to bed.
Way, after midnight, and the wine's gone to my head,
Indicating the late hour, post-midnight, and feeling the effects of wine.
Lying here upon the shore just listening to the waves,
Describing the scene of lying on the shore and listening to the waves.
And it's been a perfect day.
Summarizing the day as perfect, possibly reflecting on enjoyable experiences.
Packed up a picnic and set off for the sea,
Narrating the preparation for a seaside picnic and choosing less-traveled roads.
Taking all the back roads where no-one else would be,
Emphasizing seclusion by taking less common routes.
My and you and Paul and Sue,
Listing the people involved in the outing: the speaker, "you," Paul, and Sue.
How we laughed the time away,
Recalling joy and laughter shared during the trip.
And we had a perfect day.
Reiterating the perfection of the day.
I brought along my old guitar,
Mentioning the speaker bringing along a guitar.
And lying there beneath the stars,
Setting the scene of lying beneath the stars with the guitar.
We sang all the Beatle songs we knew,
Recounting singing Beatles songs with others.
Lord you should have heard those harmonies,
Highlighting the beautiful harmonies during the songs.
When we did Nowhere Man and Let It Be
Specifically mentioning the songs "Nowhere Man" and "Let It Be."
My love, if we should break up,
Contemplating a potential breakup and its aftermath.
Should we ever part,
Addressing the possibility of parting ways with a loved one.
And you're searching for some memory,
Suggesting searching for positive memories during heartache.
To help your aching heart,
Advising to forget hurtful words exchanged in love.
Forget about the hurtful things,
Encouraging to focus on positive aspects and memories.
That lovers often say,
Reflecting on common challenges in love relationships.
And remember this perfect day.
Reiterating the perfection of the mentioned day as a positive memory.
Then people start coming around the fire,
Describing the arrival of more people around a fire.
And I was strumming at my old guitar,
Continuing to play the guitar as others gather.
Trying to think of something everybody knew,
Struggling to think of a song familiar to everyone.
And then you said "though it's far away,
Responding to a suggestion to play a Christmas song.
A Christmas song would really make my day."
Expressing the distance of Christmas but agreeing to the request.
And everybody sang
Noting that everyone starts singing.
And all I really want to do,
Expressing the speaker's desire to sing songs for someone special.
Is sing songs for you,
Reiterating that singing for the special person makes the day perfect.
Then it's been a perfect day,
Confirming that the day has indeed been perfect.
Yes it's been a perfect day.
Affirming once again that it has been a perfect day.
