Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
Later when it gets dark, we go home
[Verse 2]
Ooh, such a perfect day
Feed the animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie too and then home
[Verse 3]
It's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Such a perfect day
You just keep me hangin' on
You just keep me hangin' on
[Verse 4]
Oh, such a perfect day
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun
[Verse 5]
Such a perfect day
Made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else, someone good
[Verse 6]
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Such a perfect day
You just keep me hangin' on
You just keep me hangin' on
[Verse 7]
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap, oh, just what you sow
You're gonna reap just what you sow
[Verse 8]
Ah, what a perfect day
Oh, such a perfect day
Ooh, such a perfect day
