Album: There Goes Rhymin' Simon

Was a Sunny Day

Words & music By Paul Simon
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
'Twas a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies
He was a navy man
stationed in Newport News
She was a highschool queen
with nothing left to lose
She was a highschool queen
with nothing left to lose
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
'Twas a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies
Her name was Lorelei
She was his only girl
She called him ";Speedoo";
But his Chistian name was Mister Earl
She called him ";Speedoo";
But his Chistian name was Mister Earl
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
'Twas a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies
