Lyrics:

What a day to be alive
What a day to realize I'm not dead
What a day to save a dime
What a day to die trying

What a way to say goodbye
What a wonderful life now
What a way to use your mind
What a day to say good night

'Bring on the evening hours,' I cry
'Bring on the evidence of my life'
(My life)

What a day to give a damn
What a day for 'Gone with the Wind'
And what a day to start again
What a day to give up dry gin

'Bring on the evening hours,' I cry
'Bring on the evidence of my life'
'Bring on the evening hours,' I cry
'Bring on the evidence of my life'

Where to go, where to go from here, I don't know
Where to go, where to go from here, I don't know
Don't know, oh

What a day to visit Seattle
What a day for San Francisco
What a day, holy Toledo
What a day to get in the air and go

What a day to give up smoking
What a day to absorb Jim Beam
What a day to welcome a baby
And to begin breathing
(To begin breathing)
