Lovely Day was published by Bill Withers in 1977.
The song appeared in Bill’s 1978 album “Menagerie”. In early 1978 it reached the #30 on Billboard top 100.
By the way, in the end of the song, Bill holds a note for 18 seconds. It’s a lot.
[Verse 1]
When I wake up in the mornin', love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And somethin' without warnin', love
Bears heavy on my mind
[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
[Verse 2]
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seemed impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
[Verse 3]
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seemed impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day)
Lovely Day was written by Skip Scarborough & Bill Withers.
Lovely Day was produced by Clarence McDonald & Bill Withers.
Bill Withers released Lovely Day on Fri Dec 16 1977.
Bill Withers told Songfacts that co-writer Skip Scarborough inspired the lyrics to this song.
We’re all sponges in a sense. You put us around very nice people, and the nice things come out in us. You put us around some jerks, and we practice being jerks.
The way Skip was, every day was just a love...
