Perfect Day

Modern Country / Contemporary Americana Dual-Vocal Ballad.... Adapted from my poem 'Perfect Day'. (Please subscribe if you enjoy my content.) Lyric Sheet: Perfect Day [Intro](Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, gentle pedal steel swells) [Verse 1] (Lead: Male Baritone; Female Harmony entering line 3) We walked through the store aisles, hand in hand Shared all our dreams that we had planned A smile creased her lips... and then a sweet kiss A shiver down my spine in moments like this I relived that kiss, time and again A memory so fresh, yet distant back then This dream that became the life which belongs Carries a name like the sweetest of songs [Chorus] (Full Harmonies & Call-and-Response) (Lead): This was our Perfect Day (Echo/Harmony) A memory here to stay (Lead): Sweetest of songs we'll play (Both): Right here on our Perfect Day! [Verse 2] (Call-and-Response / Emotional Overlap) (Male) We spoke of a child with no name (Female): A brand new life without a frame (Male): Though it was our child, not yet conceived (Female): Another facet of the dream believed (Both): The promise of tomorrow shines clear While today’s kiss is still lingering near Serenity built on a promise so sure Those things meant to be shall always endure [Chorus] (Full Band, Soaring Dual Harmonies) This was our Perfect Day A memory here to stay Sweetest of songs we'll play This was our Perfect Day! [Bridge] (Counterpoint & Overlapping Vocals) (Male): And time can never erase... (Female): Time can never erase... (Male): That sweet and sacred space! (Female): The ripples fade, but love remains... (Both): We'll weather any of the coming rains! [Double Chorus] (Full Peak Dynamics) This was our Perfect Day A memory here to stay Sweetest of songs we'll play This was our Perfect Day! Yeah, this was our Perfect Day! No time could ever wash away The promise that we made today Forever and for always! [Outro] (Stripped back, delicate acoustic guitar and pedal steel) (Male): Closing my eyes... A wish we've made (Female): Casting a coin where the waters played (Both): Ripples pass through our lives for eternity... And we'll share that dream together... That dream together... Our perfect day. (Soft decay on acoustic guitar)
