This Kind of Day

The morning came in quietly

A little cooler than before

I grabbed my coat and took my time

And wandered out the door

The street was full of little things

I never seemed to see

A dog asleep beside a chair

A bird up in a tree

It’s this kind of day

That makes me want to stay

A little longer everywhere

And let the hours drift away

This kind of day

With nothing much to say

Just a little sun, a little breeze

And you along the way

We stopped to watch the bicycles

Go rolling down the street

You found a little corner shop

And something warm to eat

We didn’t have a place to be

Or anything to do

And somehow doing nothing much

Feels better here with you

It’s this kind of day

That makes me want to stay

A little longer everywhere

And let the hours drift away

This kind of day

With nothing much to say

Just a little sun, a little breeze

And you along the way

Maybe tomorrow brings the rain

Maybe the cold is on its way

But I don’t need to think that far

We’ve still got all of today

So take your time and walk with me

There’s nowhere we should be

The nicest days are sometimes those

That happen quietly

It’s this kind of day

I wish would always stay

When every ordinary thing

Feels lovely in some way

This kind of day

Before it slips away

Just a little time, a little you

Is all I need today
