From the meadow they're sweeping grass in the room of the gardener
There's so much he misses, the hugs and the kisses of
The children who walk down the lane
Their mothers and fathers will all gather round
For communion passed down the daisy chain
It's such an amazing day
What did your mama say
Do you think you can come out and play
The night's still young
The homecoming queen hits the town, don't you think she's a vision
She makes her decision with little opposition and
She won't be waiting too long
The boys in the band know her well, hear them playing
The sweetest and saddest of songs
(Chorus)
Oh the apparition of a rainy day dreaming down
The saddest face of a clown caught in the clouds
(Serves him right for spreading his tears around)
I love you... I beg you... You better not let me down
So put on your evening gown, let me fill you with laughter
Now the beggars and borrowers scour the town for provisions
You can hear their laughter when they find what their after
As the schoolbell calls it a day
The shopkeeper wipes every tear away
As he lays his old friend the gardener to rest and
It's such an amazing day...
