A Perfect Day

A Perfect Day - Roger Whittaker

The sun has set and golden Clouds

Gleam in the evening sky

I must confess I'd always hoped:

Today would pass me by

Oh Dad I really hate to see

The sadness in your eyes

We always knew this day would come

It can't be a surprise

We had our special day to together

You were always my best friend

But the princess and the old king

Knew this day would end

A perfect day a perfect day with you

Just a perfect day of perfect hours

No other word will do

A perfect day a day for you and I

Now the evening shadows chill my heart

And I can't say goodbye

It was always I who said

I'll see you soon

When you were young

So many things we left unsaid

So many songs unsung

Dad don't worry now I'm grown

It'll be ok

You taught me well so trust me now

And I'll be on my way

We had our special day to together

You were always my best friend

But the princess and the old king

Knew this day would end

A perfect day a perfect day with you

Just a perfect day of perfect hours

No other word will do

A perfect day

A day for you and I

Now the evening shadows chill my heart

And I can't say goodbye

A perfect day

A day for you and I

Now the evening shadows chill my heart

And I can't say

I'm leaving home

Goodbye
