What a day to be alive
What a day to realize I'm not dead
And what a day to save a dime
What a day to die trying

What a way to say good bye
What a wonderful life now, all a lie
And what a way that you survive
What a day to say good night

"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life
Of my life"

What a day to give a damn
What a day for 'Gone With The Wind'
And what a day to start again
What a day to give up

"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life"
"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life
Of my life"

What a day to visit Seattle
What a day for San Francisco
What a day, holy Toledo
What a day to get in the air and go

What a day to give up smoking and
What a day to absorb Jim Beam 
What a day to welcome a baby and to begin breathing
To begin breathing
