"A Perfect Day" lyrics

The sun has set and golden clouds
Gleaming 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 a special day 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 would 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 okay
You taught me well, so trust me now
And I? ll be on my way

We had a special day 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 would 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
