I looked up at the house on the hill,
There was a woman and a girl,
Or the same person
So it seems…

I looked up at the girl, standing there,
She beckoned me to come
With an elegant hand…

I don't know why it's a lovely day,
It's getting me down, and it's working my mind over
I don't know why it's a lovely day,
It's pulling me in, it's getting me down

I walked up to the girl, standing there
She smiled a peaceful smile, and took me
By the hand and led me inside her world,
I looked around, there's nothing I could
See in the future for me… and so

I don't know why it's a lovely day,
Who's fooling who and who's pulling the wool over
I don't know why it's a lovely day
Show me the reasons and I'll change my mind…

It's coming to the point where I can say,
I will get along fine without you in my head…

I don't know why it's a lovely day,
It's getting me down, and it's working my mind over
I don't know why it's a lovely day,
It's pulling me in, it's getting me down

I don't know why it's a lovely day,
Who's fooling who and who's pulling the wool over
I don't know why it's a lovely day
Show me the reasons and I'll change my mind…
