Lyric
SALAI
(COLLA VOCE START)
YOU KNOW I DO BELIEVE,
THAT EVERY NOW AND THEN - THERE COMES A DAY,
WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS IN HARMONY,
AND TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY
LEONARDO
AS ANY FOOL CAN SEE,
NOTHING’S GOING TO SPOIL THE WAY I FEEL
NOT EVEN YOU, MY BOY..
SALAI
WHO ME?
LEONARDO
..BECAUSE TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY
SALAI
& LEONARDO
(TO LISA)
SO DON’T HIDE YOUR FEELINGS,
IF YOU’RE HAPPY LET IT SHOW.
TAKE A HOLD OF WHAT LIFE HAS TO GIVE,
AND NEVER EVER LET IT GO...
SALAI
AND WHEN YOUR WORLD GOES WRONG
SOME PEOPLE MAKE YOU FEEL YOU DON’T BELONG
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SMILE AND SAY
TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY
LISA
THAT'S ALL VERY WELL,
BUT
A LADY MUST BE MINDFUL
WHEN SHE'S IN POLITE SOCIETY
YOU KNOW IT’S FROWNED UPON TO LAUGH – OR SING!
BUT WHEN I’M HERE, I CAN BE ME!
KEY CHANGE
SALAI, LEONARDO & LISA
SO DO WE ALL AGREE
THAT HAPPINESS IS OUR PHILOSOPHY
AND MAY IT ALWAYS BE THAT WAY
OH TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY
LEONARDO
TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL...
SALAI
TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL...
SALAI, LEONARDO & LISA
RALL
TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
