Perfect Day
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
Falling to her knees
I think she tripped on reality
I have witnessed
Tragic comedies
And that's the world in which she leads
Well, I would walk a million miles
To give her all that she needs
But she would walk a million more
To do what she believes
Now
She'll have a perfect day
Now
She'll have a perfect day
Troubles blooming
Innocence will fade
But still she's dry through all the rain
There's no purpose
She has yet to crave
She's like the big dog on parade
Well, I would walk a million miles
To give her all that she needs
But she would walk a million more
To do well as she pleased
Now
She'll have a perfect day
Now
She'll have a perfect day
I can't figure this one out
I've no words here to explain
She'll just sugar kiss me off
She'll just have another perfect day
Well, I would walk a million miles
To give her all that she needs
But she would walk a million more
To do well as she pleased
Now
She had a perfect day
Ooh, yes she had a perfect day
She had a perfect day
Ooh, she had a perfect day
Now
She had a perfect day
Ooh, yes she had a perfect day
She had a perfect day
Ooh, she had a perfect day
Perfect Day
