It's a beautiful day to be so in love
And the only thing missing is you
But fresh breezes blow and the blue sky above
Tells me that there's plenty to do

So I walk in the sun and head for the river
Where moorhens and coots rush hither and thither
And ducks keep a dabbling and making a fuss
And swans swim serenely saying 'hey look at us'
And dragonflies skim and flirt with disaster
On shimmering wings which beat ever faster
And young courting couples walk by hand in hand
Not knowing their love is writ only in sand

As down from the sky floats a single white dove
Which pauses to preen and to bill and to coo.
It's a beautiful day to be so in love
And the only thing missing..... is you
