Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom

Shoots up through the stony ground

There's no room

No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck

And the reason that you had to care

The traffic is stuck

And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend

To take you out of this place

Someone you could lend a hand

In return for grace

It's a beautiful day

Sky falls, you feel like

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

Paul rolled over in the bed and groaned. He was not a morning person, and it didn't make him feel any better that the clock/radio was blasting some despicably annoying song in his ear. He squinted his eyes as Stephanie picked her head up off of his chest and smiled, looking into his face.

You're on the road

But you've got no destination

You're in the mud

In the maze of her imagination

You love this town

Even if that doesn't ring true

You've been all over

And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away

It's a beautiful day

"What's wrong honey," she said laughing to herself. She knew why he was upset. He hated that song. God knows, he heard it enough when he was at work. She pulled his muscular arm down to the bed as he made an attempt to rip the clock/radio out of the wall.

"It's not bad," Steph said antagonizing him.

"Oh yeah?" Paul replied incredulously with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

Touch me

Take me to that other place

Teach me

I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue

See China right in front of you

See the canyons broken by cloud

See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

See the Bedouin fires at night

See the oil fields at first light

And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth

After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day

"Yeah," she said slyly while sliding her hand southward, "it got you up didn't," her grin expanding by the second.

Paul's eyes suddenly bulged out of his head and he sprung to life, among other things, "It sure did," he said pulling her up for a deep kiss. "I change my mind," Paul said pulling away from her, "That's a pretty damn good song," he said as he rolled her over and lowered his head for another kiss.

Indeed, Paul had found himself proving to Stephanie that it would be a beautiful day.

Don't let it get away

Beautiful day

Touch me

Take me to that other place

Reach me

I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now

What you don't know you can feel it somehow

What you don't have you don't need it now

Don't need it now

Was a beautiful day

A/N: Wow, I know that was really bad, I've never written a song fic before, I think I'll quantify this into the humor section
