Clay Aiken--Perfect Day

Well, I'm not sure why, but this song kinda has me hooked. The other thing that has me weirded out is that I really am primarily an 80's listener, but many of these songs are not 80's. Anyway, near as I can tell, Clay Aiken is mostly an adult contemporary artist. Nearest 80's comparisons I can make are Phil Collins and Christopher Cross (Yes, Chris Cross. Just had to make that extra clear). Adult contemporary is basically targeted towards 30's and up (and it's hard to believe I listen to anything that fit's there), though Clay Aiken also is supposedly a teen audience (where I fit as well as the adult contemporary). Here are the lyrics as I understand them.

I was fading last night

Lost out in the cold

Couldn't see the light

Then she opened up the door

I came in from the dark

Fell into her arms

Just in time

Now I know that I

Left the past behind

Well let it go

CHORUS

You could tell me tonight

That maybe the world world end

That the sun wouldn't rise

And it was gonna rain again

Just as long as she's in my arms

It's gonna be perfect day

There's a look in her eyes

Makes me feel alright

Lights the perfect sky

That I couldn't see before

And she helped me to find

Now that I've seen her shine

I know I'll never be alone

Cuz now I know that I

Love I can't deny

Well let it go

CHORUS

Think I lost you in another life

Part of me that I left behind

I walked the world without you

And now I know that I

Have put the past behind

I let it go

CHORUS, etc.

I was disappointed, because until I listened closely I assumed it was: Just as long as your here in my heart. There's a chance also that it could be: In my eyes. Clay wasn't overly picky about his enunciation on this song I feel. Anyway, I started this post on Tuesday, and it's been a while since a got anything up, so I felt I should forge ahead with this, and next one should be something I have more to say about. Sorry, but I couldn't find any youtube video's of this one I was crazy about.
