IT'S A LOVELY DAY TODAY

 Woke up today to a beautiful morning. Hint of rain to come or maybe it has rained in places nearby. It was cloudy with temperature around 26* C., and a gentle, cool and pleasant easterly wind blowing at 10 knots. So an old song hummed in my mind. It’s an Irving Berlin composition featured in the 1953 movie, “Call Me Madam”, sung and tap-danced brilliantly by Donald O’Connor and Vera Ellen. Without further ado, the song, “It’s A Lovely Day Today”:

‘It’s a lovely day today

So whatever you’ve got to do

You’ve got a lovely day to do it in, that’s true….

And whatever you’ve got to do

I’d be so happy to be doing it with you.

But if you’ve got something that must be done

And it can only be done by one

There is nothing more to say

Except it’s a lovely day for saying

It’s a lovely day.’

What lovely lines!

Going further down memory lane, echoes Rodgers and Hammerstein's number from "Oklahoma":

'Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh, what a beautiful day,

I've got a beautiful feeling, that everything's going my way.'

In the same vein, sing along another lively number “Beautiful Sunday”, by Daniel Boone:

‘Birds are singing, you by my side

Let’s take a car and go for a ride

Hey, hey, hey, it’s a beautiful day….

Ha, ha, ha, beautiful Sunday

This is my, my, my, beautiful day

When you say, say, say, say that you love me,

Oh my, my, my, it’s a beautiful day’.

Today may be Thursday but I’m getting the car out!
