lyrics

As I lay on the ward,
I’ve never felt as safe and reassured,
Than when I see you standing by my side,

What a way,
What a fine way to make my day,
It’s wonderful to hear you say there’s nowhere else that you’d rather be,

I don’t mind, you can go,
There’s a world outside your window,
But I’m glad you’d choose to spend your time with me,

What a way,
What a fine way to make my day,
I’d never assume you’d wish to stay and help me bear the strain,

But it’s wrong, and it’s cruel,
To lay my wounds on you,
I’m ashamed, I’m a fool,
But what else can I do?

You’re divine, you’re a treasure,
You can turn my pain to pleasure,
You’re the one who gave me cause to go on living,

What a way,
What a fine way to make my day,
How can I ever repay the life you gave away to make my day,

What a way to make my day,
What a way to make my day,
What a way to make my day,
