A Perfect Day

The sun has set and golden clouds

Gleaming in the evening sky

I must confess, I'd always hoped

Today would pass me by

Oh dad, I really hate to see

The sadness in your eyes

We always knew this day would come

It can't be a surprise

We had a special day together

You were always my best friend

But the princess and the old king

Knew this day would end

A perfect day, a perfect day with you

Just a perfect day of perfect hours, no other word would do

A perfect day, a day for you and I

Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I can't say goodbye

It was always I who said, "I'll see you soon"

When you were young

So many things we left unsaid

So many songs unsung

Dad, don't worry now I'm grown

It'll be okay

You taught me well, so trust me now

And I'll be on my way

We had a special day together

You were always my best friend

But the princess and the old king

Knew this day would end

A perfect day, a perfect day with you

Just a perfect day of perfect hours, no other word would do

A perfect day, a day for you and I

Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I can't say goodbye

A perfect day, a day for you and I

Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I can't say

I'm leaving home, goodbye
