What a Day
Embracing Life's Treasures: What a Day by The Saw Doctors
Lyrics
These few years have felt like a lifetime
Reflecting on the past few years as if they felt like a lifetime.
She's given all her love to me
The speaker's partner has devoted all her love to him.
Beside me sorting out my problems
The partner has been alongside, helping to solve problems.
Guiding me into maturity
Guiding the speaker into maturity.
Why didn't I see?
Expressing regret for not realizing something earlier.
Chorus:
Chorus emphasizing the significance of the day.
What a day, oh what a day-ay-ay
-What a day, oh what a day
-What a day, oh what a day-ay-ay
-What a day ohhhh-oh-oh-oh, what a day
-We've had our differences
Despite differences, they've overcome challenges, and the partner is invaluable.
And come through them
-Stumbled and crawled along the way
-But she means the whole world to me
-I won't ever let her go away
-What do I mean to say?
The speaker struggles to articulate his feelings.

What a day!

These few years have felt like a lifetime

She's given all her love to me
-Beside me sorting out my problems
-Guiding me into maturity
-Why didn't I see?
-Oohhhhhh
An emotional expression, perhaps of realization or appreciation.
