What a Day
Way down in Texas
On South Padre Island
I met a Persian girl
Her name was Shilah
We danced on the beach
The stars lit her eyes
We sang with our spirits
She spoke with her smiles
We spoke on our days
Of causes and things
The depths of the ocean
The troubles we blame
She said
After all of these years
I still have my fears
I wanna be a writer
But I haven't in years
Then she
Looked up at me
Straight through the breeze
And said I just want my peace
Then she turned away
Thought I heard her say
I don't wanna grow old
But I don't wanna die too young
Good feels great till
Great ain't good enough
As time goes by I'm missing
Way too much
Man what a day
To do what you want
Man what a day
To say how good it was
Ow
How good it was
By the end of the night
We'd spent all our time
All we had left were farewells and goodbyes
She was thirty-four going on thirty-five
I asked what was next in her chapter of life
She said
The day you hit thirty
They go in a hurry
I'll celebrate the day I die
I said
To tell you the truth
This time won't renew
I think you should do whatever you like
Then she
Embraced the waves
Wind in her face
And said
I just might
And I said alright
And we sang
I don't wanna grow old
But I don't wanna die too young
Good feels great till
Great ain't good enough
As time goes by I'm missing
Way too much
Man what a day
To do what you want
Man what a day
To say how good it was
How good it was
How good it was
How good it was
How good it was
So
Do what you want
Mean what you say
Work for your freedom
And not for the pay
Man what a day
To stay where you are
Yesterday's gone
And tomorrow's too far
Know what you love
Only say what you know
Don't ever change because they told you so
Say what you mean
Love what you do
Eyes only lie when you can't hear the truth
Man what a day
What a day to say how good it was
Man what a day
What a day to say how good it was
Man what a day
What a day to say how good it was
Man what a day
What a day to say how good it was
