A Lovely Day to Wander

I stepped outside this morning

With nowhere much to go

The breeze was light and easy

And everything moved slow

I took the street I seldom take

And followed where it led

The trees were swaying quietly

Beneath the sky ahead

What a lovely day to wander

With nowhere I must be

To follow every little road

And see what I might see

What a lovely day to wander

And let the hours unwind

The world seems just a little nicer

When I leave the clock behind

A little café on the corner

Had music drifting through

The tables filled the sidewalk

Like they always seem to do

I stopped beneath the trees awhile

And watched the afternoon

There wasn’t anything to hurry

And nowhere to be soon

What a lovely day to wander

With nowhere I must be

To follow every little road

And see what I might see

What a lovely day to wander

And let the hours unwind

The world seems just a little nicer

When I leave the clock behind

Perhaps I’ll turn the corner

Perhaps I’ll stay right here

The nicest thing about today

Is nothing’s very clear

What a lovely day to wander

While daylight lingers on

To take the long way everywhere

Before the day is gone

What a lovely day to wander

No reason and no plan

Sometimes a day is loveliest

When nothing is at hand
