Most Beautiful Day
Lyrics by Jerry Joseph

Got out of my holy China 1946
If I could put a finger on it
That’s when I got sick
I lost my health, lost my pride, lost my dignity
Not one shred, one scrap of life
A thing to set me free

Except the best day of my life
Burned in my memory
Most Beautiful Day
Burned in my memory

Sunny day back in Kentucky
Said you’d marry me
And I was young, life was long
You my bride to be
A single vision of you still
The only thing I need
Most beautiful day

And I always thought of you
Most beautiful day
And you always pull me through
Most beautiful day

Well I got home you were gone
I couldn’t be surprised
Love goes you hate to carry one
I might as well have died
The hope and glitter on the fall
Had vanished from my eyes

Most beautiful day
And I kept it all inside
Most beautiful day
And I probably would have died

Well I drank up all the eastern seaboard
Drank up the west
Drinking’ is the thing that I like to do the best
Pray to the lord, but he could not care less
Looking forward to my grave
I know I need the rest

Though these people walking’ by
Until I drink a beer
You could see it in my dying eyes
It’s a little late to quit
As the lights around me fade
One thing I know is true
All the fire I find in hell
Will never burn the memory of you
You always pull me through
Most beautiful day
And I always thought of you

Well I drank up all the eastern seaboard
I drank up all the west
cause drinking is the thing that I like to do the best
I prayed to the lord above, but he could not care less
I’m looking forward

The fact that I’m a loser
Lays heavy on my chest
cause losing is one thing that I can do the best
In my dreams my darling I will
Raise my glass of gin
Here's to all my memories and
All the things we might have been

Most beautiful day
We could have had it all
Most beautiful day
And rode off in the sun
Most beautiful day
Most beautiful day
Most beautiful day
