about

Written during the lockdown period, the song is a message of optimism. When the world appears ugly and nothing seems right, there is still beauty to be found all around in the little things we see and experience day-to-day, and it is for us to go out and find it. Whether it be in nature, architecture, culture or in happy memories triggered by things we see, hear or feel, there is always something we can find to make our beautiful days.

lyrics

Clear blue sky, bright sunny day
Wide open fields, rolling hay
Lush green trees by a riverside,
A rustic church, blushing bride

Fresh cut grass on a hillside
Rolling to the riverside
Dancing barefoot in the rain
Winter’s gone, Spring’s here again

CHORUS:
These are our beautiful days
And we found them in England
These are our beautiful days

Waves crashing on a Cornish beach
Starry skies just out of reach
Late night walk in an old English town
A kiss in the park when there’s no one around

(Chorus)
(Break)

Skylarks calling over my head
Look down o’er Old Sarum
Peregrines fly from the cathedral spire
Watching over you, watching over me
Watching over you
