Paul Simon - Was A Sunny Day Lyrics

Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heared
From the people passing by
Was a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies

He was a navy man
Stationed in Newport News
She was a high school queen
With nothing left to lose

CHORUS

Her name was Lorelei
She was his only girl
She called him Speedoo
But his Christian name
Was Mr.Earl

CHORUS
