This Is A Good Day
from A Really Good Holiday by The Really Good Pot Roast
about
This wouldn’t be a Really Good Pot Roast album without a sad song. This is about the Christmas that isn’t a grand, white snowy, storybook event, but rather celebrating the small moments with the ones you love and that mean the most despite of the hard times throughout the year.
lyrics
You're still awake when I make it home
Swing shift again but it keeps the heat on
You look tired as I feel and I know not to say a word
It’s just good to have you home
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
The tree is the kind that folds
It’s showing signs of age but then again so are we
The lights a little dimmer but I don't mind at all
‘Cause I can still see you, and you still look so lovely
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
It’s not what we planned when started off together
Stretching so hard to find the ends never meet
And just when I thought you couldn't scream any louder
You whisper my name and it just breaks my heart
You hum as you cook with what’s left in the cupboard
The pipes sing behind you and rattle the out the words
This apartment’s not what we wanted or where we thought we would be,
But I wouldn’t be anywhere else
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
Swing shift again but it keeps the heat on
You look tired as I feel and I know not to say a word
It’s just good to have you home
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
The tree is the kind that folds
It’s showing signs of age but then again so are we
The lights a little dimmer but I don't mind at all
‘Cause I can still see you, and you still look so lovely
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
It’s not what we planned when started off together
Stretching so hard to find the ends never meet
And just when I thought you couldn't scream any louder
You whisper my name and it just breaks my heart
You hum as you cook with what’s left in the cupboard
The pipes sing behind you and rattle the out the words
This apartment’s not what we wanted or where we thought we would be,
But I wouldn’t be anywhere else
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
This is a good day
This is a good day
This is a good day
It’s our Christmas Day
