lyrics

BREEZY DAY

It’s a breezy day
Light wending in every way
Morning sun on trees and on the street
Today I’ve got some chores to do
A book to read, some letters too
Tonight we’re going out to see a play

We have each other now
Keeps the loneliness at bay
We breathe we sleep we blend together
This love helps in every way

Oh it’s a breezy day
Light wending every way
Birds winging, singing in my bones
In the noisy bric-a-brac of this old town
Our upbeat counters every down
Oh I wanna see it go on and on this way
Oh I wanna see it go on and on this way

And keep that old darkness at bay
Keep those rising storms at bay

We have each other now
Keeps the loneliness at bay
We breathe we sleep we blend together
This love helps in every way

Oh it’s a breezy day
Lithe and wending in every way
These bright colours I hope are here to stay
In the noisy bric-a-brac of this old town
Our upbeat counters every down
And tonight we’re going out to see a play
Tonight we’re going out to see a play
Tonight we’re going out to be a play
Our own play
Our own play
Our own play

And keep that old darkness at bay
Keep those rising storms at bay
Keep that darkness at bay

Oh it’s a breezy day
Oh it’s a breezy day
Oh it’s a breezy day

Listener comments:

Very English Invasion. Almost a Jools Holland chirpiness. Love it. It's bright and punchy!
- Jason J., Vancouver, B.C.

That horn player is very good, and the song is uplifting with deftly restated lines for a varied chorus.
- Ross M., Toronto

A delight... nostalgic for those days when going to a play was just normal... sigh... Andrà tutto bene.
- Chard C., Montreal

Love the strum pattern! Very energetic. Great tune!
- Rusty K., Lewiston, Idaho

Refreshing, revivifying licks, pipes, and message. Amen!
- George E.C., Toronto
