Lazy Day
Herb Alpert · Other Songs - Herb Alpert
What a day to take a walk in the park
Ice cream, daydream
Till the sky becomes a blanket of stars
What a day for a picking daises
And lots of red balloons
And what a day for holdin' hands
And bein' with you
Lazy day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy day made for a strollin' the lane
Baby, you and me, baby you and me
And a honey bee 'neath a shady tree
Lazy day, lazy day, lazy day for you and me
Blue sky, sunshine
Flowers bloomin', children sayin' hello
Rowboats, bird notes
People smilin' everywhere that we go
What a day to be together
And what a sky of blue
And what a day for thinkin' right out loud
I love you
Lazy day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy day made for a strollin' the lane
Baby, you and me, baby you and me
And a honey bee 'neath a shady tree
Lazy day, lazy day, lazy day for you and me
What a day for a picking daises
And lots of red balloons
And what a day for thinkin' right out loud
I love you
Lazy day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy day made for a strollin' the lane
Lazy day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy day made for a strollin' the lane
Lazy Day - Herb Alpert
Herb Alpert's "Lazy Day" stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, mid-tempo pop style, blending jazz influences with accessible melody. Recorded during the height of his career, the track exemplifies the polished production and sophisticated vocal delivery that defined his work in the late 1960s and early 1970s. As a solo effort, it showcases Alpert's ability to craft introspective yet catchy songs that resonated with audiences seeking a relaxed, sophisticated listening experience. The recording reflects the era's shift toward more mature, jazz-inflected pop, distinguishing it from the upbeat, instrumental-heavy tracks often associated with his earlier fame. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic simplicity and the artist's consistent commitment to high-quality vocal performance.
