Lyrics
The papers say a storm’s on it’s way
But the papers have been wrong
It may rain but I’ll not complain
For my heart is full of song
Eyes like mine see all that is fine
There is beauty ev’rywhere
Days like these are mine, if you please
There is romance in the air
Refrain
Love has made this such a lovely day
The children show it in their play
The weather vane keeps spinning
It can’t make up its mind
But I go right on grinning
‘Cause I look around and find
That love has made this such a lovely day
I don’t care what the people say
Tho’ heaven knows my private woes are many
The best of things are bound to come my way
And love has made this such a lovely day
Refrain
Love has made this such a lovely day
My heart commands and I obey
It tells me to adore you
It’s such a simple task
I place myself before you
Is there more that you could ask?
Oh, love has made this such a lovely day
The flowers nod and seem to say
It must be joy for girl and boy to care so
How proud we’d be to be in your bouquet
And love has made this such a lovely day
