Got out of my holy China 1946 If I could put a finger on it That's when I got sick I lost my health, lost my pride, lost my dignity Not one shred, one scrap of life a thing to set me free Except the best day of my life burned in my memory Most Beautiful Day Burned in my memory Sunny day back in Kentucky Said you'd marry me And I was young, life was long You, my bride to be A single vision of you still the only thing I need Most beautiful day And I always thought of you Most beautiful day And you always pull me through Most beautiful day Well I got home you were gone I couldn't be surprised Lord knows you had to carry on I might as well have died The hope and glimmer long before had vanished from my eyes Most beautiful day And I kept it all inside Most beautiful day And I probably would've died Most beautiful day Well I drank up all the eastern seaboard Drank up all the west Cause drinkin' is the thing, I like to do the best Pray to the lord above but he could not care less Looking forward to my grave I know I need the rest Though these people walking by Could tell I drink a bit You could see it in my dying eyes It's a little late to quit But as the lights around me fade One thing I know is true That all the fire I find in hell will never burn the memory of you You always pull me through Most beautiful day And I always thought of you Most beautiful day Well I drank up all the eastern seaboard I drank up all the west Cause drinkin' is the thing, I like to do the best Pray to the lord above but he could not care less Looking forward to my grave I know I need the rest The fact that I'm a loser Lies heavy on my chest Cause losing is the one thing, that I can do the best So in my dreams, my darling, I will raise my glass of gin Here's to all the memories and all the things that might've been Most beautiful day we could have had it all Most beautiful day and rode off in the sun Most beautiful day and you always were the one Most beautiful day and I always thought of you Most beautiful day Most beautiful day Most beautiful day
