听歌学英语:Perfect Day-Lady Antebellum

Went walking through town just the other day with nothing much to do
As the sun came breaking down through the clouds
 I never seen the sky so blue
I saw a Cajun man with a red guitar singing on the side of the street
I threw a handful¹ of change in his beat up case and said
play me a country beat
And it sounded like

Met up with some friends outside of town
we were headed towards the lake
I hopped² into the back of a jacked up jeep felt the wind upon my face
We got to the spot and the sun was hot everybody was feeling fine
So we jumped on in for a midday swim then we lost all track of time
It was a perfect day
What I'd give if I could find a way to stay
Lost in this moment now
Ain't worried about tomorrow when your busy living in a perfect day

As the moon came out and the fire burned
everybody was singing along
To some rambling³ a little Curtis Lowe and all those feel good songs
We danced all night without a care no place we'd rather be
Cuz these are the days we'll talked about
When we lived so wild and free
It was a perfect day
What I'd give if I could find a way to stay
Lost in this moment now
Ain't worried about tomorrow when your busy living in a perfect day

We were sitting in the sand as he grabbed⁴ my hand
And he leaned in for a kiss
I couldn't help but think with the stars above
It doesn't get much better than this
It was a perfect day
What I'd give if I could find a way to stay
Lost in this moment now
Ain't worried about tomorrow
when your busy living feels like dreaming
Slowly drifting⁵ through this perfect day
