Lyrics

Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the peoples passing by
'Twas 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 really left to lose
She was a high school queen with nothing really left to lose
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the peoples passing by
'Twas a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies
Her name was Lorelei
She was his only girl
She called him, "Speedoo", but his Christian name was Mr. Earl
She called him, "Speedoo", but his Christian name was Mr. Earl
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the peoples passing by
'Twas a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the peoples passing by
