I can see
Oh what a day it's gonna be
There'll never be another like it
As far as I can see
'cause the world's gonna know
When they see our good times grow
Oh yes, today, girl
Oh what a day it's gonna be
'cause I can hear
The birds are singing
It seems a better life beginning
And all the mist will clear
'cause the sun is gonna shine
And keep shining all the time
Oh yes, today, girl
Oh what a day it's gonna be
I can see
Oh what a day it's gonna be
It seems the very air I'm breathing
Is bringing you to me
And then when our days are few
We'll remember things we're doing
Yes, today, girl
Oh what a day it's gonna be
Oh what a day it's gonna be
There'll never be another like it
As far as I can see
'cause the world's gonna know
When they see our good times grow
Oh yes, today, girl
Oh what a day it's gonna be
'cause I can hear
The birds are singing
It seems a better life beginning
And all the mist will clear
'cause the sun is gonna shine
And keep shining all the time
Oh yes, today, girl
Oh what a day it's gonna be
I can see
Oh what a day it's gonna be
It seems the very air I'm breathing
Is bringing you to me
And then when our days are few
We'll remember things we're doing
Yes, today, girl
Oh what a day it's gonna be
Oh! What A Day It's Gonna Be
Released by The Kinks in 1966, 'Oh! What A Day It's Gonna Be' stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-period pop-rock sound. The track features the group's signature harmonies and a driving rhythm section that defines their approach to British Invasion music. While often associated with their later, more experimental work, this recording showcases the Kinks' ability to blend catchy melodies with social commentary, a hallmark of their discography during the mid-to-late 1960s. The song remains a staple of their catalog, reflecting the optimism and youthful energy characteristic of their early to middle era recordings.
