Lyrics:
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day - เพลง
Let's be honest, we all searched for this.
🤣💀💀
We did
you're just like everyone else
that is correct :)
😬😂👍
If you're listening to this song in 2024 have a lovely day
🔥🔥❤

Really liked this song in 1977 when I was 29 years old, Really like this song now at 71 years old in 2020!
Loved this song in 77 when I was 7....adore it still
if more people would share your good mood this world would be a better place Stephen!
give me wisdom stephen
Bless you soul Stepen. May you enjoy this again for many more years to come
Loved it in 1977 when I was 27. Still love it in 2020 when I am 69. A lovely timeless song.
RIP Bill Withers. Ain't no sunshine when you're gone.
😢
I see a lot of people did what I did after seeing your likes. Ran to TH-cam to hear his music after hearing of his passing.
RIP Bill. Songs such as this will always live on
Rip, he will be missed 😢💔👼
Rip brother💝💝🙏🙏 but your music will live on.
Grandad just passed this minute…:; this was his tune R.I.P Gramps xx
Bless you. Its mine too. Go well ❤
Sorry for your lost
I hope everybody has a Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
There are two types of people in the world.
Those that hold the extended "day" and those that repeat "lovely day" in the chorus.
Used to be able to do the first part but after a lifetime of smoking, I can only do the second part now.
@@jeffsullivan2044 Damn. Hey, at least you can still sing! Hope you're doing well.
Lmao 😂😂😂 facts
@@aarontheperson6867 👍lol
Or the third group: those who are holing the note until they can and the sing lovely day in the background 🤗
I was listening to this song just yesterday. RIP Bill Withers.
I loaded this song onto a USB stick and have been playing it in the car regularly (bare minimum, once a week) for about a year now. Very sad to hear of Mr. Withers passing. :-(
dude same its crazy 😢😢
Mee too
I’ve been listening to it all year, look n for inspiration. RIP Bill
I was listening to grandmas hands like 4 days ago! So sad....RIP Bill
Graduating from high school in 1977..truly lovely days 🎉
I was born in 1977! Great song!!
Is it that old? Damn, I'm class of '80
Quale liceo?
I listen to this song on rough days when I don’t want to go to work. And it lifts my spirits instantly.
True that!
I was like this some time ago, then I changed my job... It's alright now!
I do the same, it's amazing how one tune can change your mind set.
Yesss!! This song and Sly and the Family Stone Hot Fun in the Summertime always lifts me up 😊
..even when it rains ☔️
Rest in peace Mr. Withers.. Today is not a lovely day, it is a day of mourning for your loss.. :(
Well said
Another painful day with cancer but I am ALIVE!! TY JESUS AND FRED LITTLES.I ADORE U
I hope/pray for that you pull through and make a full recovery. If not, please do not be offended, then I pray for that you have come in terms with being yourself and are ready to leave at peace, happy, despite the current pain.
Be patient, keep remaining strong, brace yourself. It's your body trying to fight what was created in the body. It's a war going on right now in your body, but your mind is the actual battlefield.
Your coming here to listen to something positive, tells me that you are strong. You are strong.
LOVE YOU TOO
Stay strong and fight! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
İ hope you'll recover as short as possible.
hoping for a strong recovery, keep fighting ❤️
If you’re listening to this in beginning/mid 2024, have the most LOVELY DAY known to man. 😊
I'm listening to this on April 25, 2024 eating lunch at the mall in Sarasota, Fl and it's a "LOVELY DAY"! Cheers!
Thank you!! You as Well!!
❤🙌🏽😊
THIS SONG SLAPS SOOOOOOO HARD!!!!!!
"An old friend once told me something that gave me great comfort. Something he read. He said Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died. They simply became music."
Like that
❤❤
Truth
That's beautiful. It reminds me of what Yoko Ono told little Sean Lennon after John died: "He used to be here. Now he's everywher."
Stop giving white people all the credit for something black people created.
Who’s here after hearing that he passed away? Timeless music R.I.P #legend
My friend and I had just discussed this song about a week ago. I told him that this song represents my son to me and how I sing it to him whenever it comes on. My son has no idea how many days he has brightened just by me seeing his face. Songs that have that kind of connection are timeless. Bill Withers was timeless.
Immediately..bless him
me in Twitter, great artist
rip bill
I listen to this song all the time
Who is here for 2024
Let's have a lovely day ❤️
Definitely in the groove. God bless all y'alls days.
Me. Eternally good song
63 yrs young. Just finished "Grandma's Hands" & "Use Me"
is next.
I use this to wake up my brothers in the morning 😂
Bill Withers was truly one of the greatest underrated singers ever.
♪ "A lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"♪♪♪
and I'm in the background singing "lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, Love-ly day" lolol
Love these comments, made me actually lol
Wildhoney it really sounds like he's say lovin it but one day I looked up the lyrics and was like wtf
Erica Bernardo

lmao!!! I tried it and damn near died...damn Pall Malls.
His music cures sadness 😭 Rip Bill Withers
It does indeed Thank you Mr. Withers friend 🌞✨
Amen
OMG QUEEN SO TRUE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Zariyah Rakari you hit it on the money 💯🙏🏽
Amen to that. A legend
This song has brought so much joy into my life throughout the years. I feel so blessed to have lived through the Eighties in my younger years and to have had the opportunity to experience all this fantastic music
This song was 8 years before I was born, but I was introduced to lovely day as a kid and this one song is better than 98% of hip songs in 2024!!! Truth be told... hold on to the ones you love and love you back, because it's highly difficult to find loyalty these days!!! Cherish life, everyday on this earth is a lovely day!!! RIP Bill withers
Screw you 2020! Kobe, Corona Virus and now Bill Withers. Man, this has been my all time favorite song from him. Rest in Peace Mr. Withers. 😥😥😥
RyuTempest and Kenny Rogers and pop smoke and Neil Peart
@@jacbaby5975 how can I forget Kenny Rogers. Sighs* thanks man.
2020 will get better as soon as it progresses.
@@popcultureo4246 well I sure hope it can't get worse.
G shit this man and Kobe!
This needs to be the first thing everybody wakes up to
Amen to that!
Good idea!!!
Yassssss 🥰🥰🥰
I normally do not need an alarm clock to wake up but I am starting a new job where I will be working overnight and sleeping during the day. Will need to figure out how to set my phone alarm to this
My teacher plays this song every morning when we enter online class
Listening in 2024 and it’s still a masterpiece !!!! Thank you for this gift Mr. Withers I bet it’s a lovely day in heaven with you singing there ❤️
Thanks 🎉🙏
2024 energy! ❤ May you all have a peaceful and LOVELY year!
You as well ❤
Have a nice one too!
Same same ❤️
It’s impossible not to feel better after listening to this song
@@donofreebro7789 years ago I got to see the late Smoken Joe Frazier working his son in the gym with hope he could be a champion. While Marvis worked out they had this song on the gym speakers
RIp Bill, its a small world and everyone has to go one day. One way or the other. It's how people will remember us when we are gone. Thanks for giving us good music.
Amen
Mariha Ahmed
On the bright side, ever since I realized that he died, I remembered how good his music is and I found some of my favorite songs! Rest In Peace Bill!!
Mariha ahmed you're hot
He gave us great music.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Rip LEGEND!,everyone have a lovely day, in this hectic times.
True words spoken.
This song right here!! I'm 54 and I've loved it for as long as I can remember ❤
Today was a lovely day!
It'll sure be a lovely day in heaven. RIP Mr. Withers.
I played this for my granddaughter everyday while she was in the NICU, three months later she was discharged. Thanks Bill!
Nice
Everyone liked that
This is lovely. Have a good day keep going:)
"Lovely Day" is one of those timeless songs like "Happy" by Farrell and "I Can See Clearly Now" by the late Johnny Nash that will always lift your spirits and your attitude🤗🌞😎
@@wil4673 lasaid
I play this song every morning to start my day and it sets the tone for my whole day! What a lovely day? Lol
I do the same. I play Sounds of Blackness Optimistic followed by this. Sets the tone for every day!!! God Bless
Corn ball lmao!!!
@@joice2871 yet here you are commenting! Who's the corn ball here? Ctfu 🤦🏻♂️
@joice2871 people like you don't listen to bill. Your a poser. Cornball was the most cornballiest thing a cornball could say. Repent to christ
I Play this for my son in the morning 😆 This guy loves it
He actually holds that note … how I don’t know!
Great song!!! Great voice!
Legit talent + studio magic.
a lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay (i held down the a as long as he holds down that note)
We lost a legend but he wrote music for us to enjoy even after his passing
Almost want to cry
@@skeltonjack55 when I was listening to his music in tribute to him I almost did
RIP Bill Withers. You will be missed.
Bill Withers was one of a kind.... this man wrote some great music...
Bill was in his bag when he created this song . TOP TIER 🔥
_"...If I get to heaven, I'll look for Grandma's hands."_ -Bill Withers
They just welcomed you home. RIP
Oh boy that's so sweet and sad at the same time.. hope he's living a good and lovely life in the other world, he really deserves it..
If you don't repent turn from Satan to God you will burn in hell. Turn to Jesus or burn in hell
@@richardgraciano2489 I mean, I'm a Christian as well, but I don't think you should bring stuff like that up unless someone asks. It's kind of awkward and showcases social unawareness when you just throw in religion to things. People are just here respecting Mr. Withers. We're not really debating theology.
@@richardgraciano2489 that's rough
@@richardgraciano2489 stfu
So sorry to here he died. I just listened to this two days ago. I came back to leave my condolences. May God comfort his family, friends, fans,etc.
☹
God bless and rip Bill Withers
Same here the song was on yesterday 😪 Rip brother
God doesn't exist
I'm so sad.
It’s gonna be a lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay❣️❣️R.I.P Bill- We love you💕💙💕
Yes, yes I did search for this. God bless you all.
The greats are leaving us at an alarming rate. RIP, Bill Withers.
But are waiting for us in a beautiful, peaceful place.
Today is not a lovely day, Bill. Rest in peace, I love you.
Natan Jacksoη he would you to still have a lovely day 😊
He's in a better place
You’re right Natan. The world seems to keep getting darker, and losing Bill seems so unfair. Losing him sucks for humanity
Not at all.
@@yikes9205 Dont be sad that hes gone. Be happy he was here. Fly high Bill in the next life we will all meet soon :)
Let’s be honest we all love bill withers❤❤❤
Wonder who will be here 2026 the year I will graduate nursing school and I’ll be playing this song the day of my graduation #manifesting 😊💜
How can people dislike this song I mean come on. Pure joy.
Truth✊
It’s likable until the media spams it so much it in dozens of commercials and talk shows becomes extremely annoying.
So true!
People with no taste in music! How this song doesn't raise your spirits and mood, then you must have a heart of stone
@@leesabaccellieri8715
People do have taste in music, but the media that distributes it has no soul. To make it so commonplace in pop culture that not one person who would normally love this song, for example, would like it again when set in the context of a primary program. This song deserves its own spotlight.
Therapists HATE him!
Find out how this one man made everyone’s day better with this one simple trick.
This comment deserves more likes 🤣
How do you know?
lmao, true
Yeah really not a lot of songs that make me happier than this one
@@marialogan939 it’s a joke
Lovely Day, full of possibilities… who’s still listening in 2024 ❤
Me 🎉🎉🎉😊
Song is timeless
Me!❤
Just told my wife of 35 years this was one of my favorites back in the day
My Mama’s Funeral Is Tomorrow. She Suffered With Congestive Heart Failure and Dementia with Sundowners For The Past Year.
I Would Sing, Dance and Point To Her Smiling Throughout This Song…
In The Early Stages She Would Sing Along With Me…
Last Friday January 26, 2024 I Visited Her At Home To Play This Song Again, Singing.
I Always Was Told The Hearing Is The Last To Go…
I Also Played Beth Hart’s Song “Mama This Ones For You” As This Was Gary’s Song For Her From Him.
There Was A Tear From Her Eye Which I Gently Wiped Away.
We All Have One Mother and There Are No Guidebooks Which Truly Exist On Raising Children. It Is Hands On.
The First Four Of Us (Our Parents Quad Being So Close In Age) Lived On Meager Means But Was Rich In Love and Laughter…
The Remaining Two Younger Siblings Though A Difference In Ages Have Different Memories…
I Like To Hope It Was My Eldest Brother Mickey Who Passed Away January 21, 2006 From Cancer At The Age Of 46, Was The One Who Mama Saw To Help Guide Her From This World To Heaven…
Until We See Each Other Again Mama…
The Love Endures
I’m so sorry for your great loss. Praying for you.🙏🏼
The more LOVE❤ THE MORE LOSS 💔
Beautiful memories to hold forever. And a beautiful song to remember her by. Sorry for both your losses. Sending my hugs and prayers.
RIP Bill Withers, "Ain't no sunshine when you're gone, but it's every day a lovely day in Heaven" 💚
Sad indeed.
YES !
Thank you man👍
@@ts5792 The lovliest days will always be the ones spent in the Presence of Jesus. His Love surpasses all.
Taku may you be blessed in the Name of our Lord Jesus.
(I love your singing - is a gift from God)
"then I look at you, and the world is alright with me" RIP legend :(
From your fans in the 🇬🇧 Thankyou Bill for your music & your distinctive voice.
Who's here with me in 2024?
This was my song for my beloved canine companion of fifteen years. I would always embrace her and sing when I heard this song. She saved my life with her love ❤
This song will be played at my funeral to lift everyone’s spirits
Amen
my aunt, a lady who was basically my mom had this played at her funeral and it was very difficult to hear the first couple times but now i hear it and even though i cry i feel good
Amen
He was and still is the MAN!
Eddie Haugh - The day they died, t’was a lovely day.
wait...
I finally broke down after everything already going on in the world, this broke me 😭 Use to sing Lean on me in elementary it was good times. May he rest in paradise.
I feel the same way. Stay strong and safe.
Hurt my heart too
I have been strong but this broke me too Thank you Mr. Withers your songs are forever burned into my heart with pure joy! Rest in Pure Joy friend 🙏🏼✨🌞
Me too
After I read your post, I did as well. Be well.
9 May 2024 ❤
If u are listening, have a lovely day ❤
Listening here right now in Ibiza😎
Sadly as he left us today, his stories put to music will make everyday a “Lovely Day”. Condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Bill Withers.
Songs have a way of coming full circle in our lives. I married Christopher Alexander on August 1, 2009 and six days later he died. Last Wednesday, one of my vice principals played this song over the intercom as we were welcoming students into the school for their morning classes. I told my vp that the song is from a movie soundtrack I couldn’t quite place. Within a split second, I realized that it wasn’t from a movie, but rather that I hadn’t heard the song since Chris used to play it for me in the mornings. Time heals our sorrows, and as students worldwide deal with this unique time in their young lives, let’s bless them with this song believing that in spite of everything going on in the world, it is gonna be a lovely day. ❤️🙏❤️
Sending you love ❤️
@@nehamathur3141 thank you and blessings to you.
Sending you Love today! I too know what it means when time heals wounds. My first husband and I had a terrible motorcycle accident after a year of marriage. He was a head injured person and I had to end the marriage for safety of me and my kids. The 20+ years later I was able to reconnect with my high school sweetheart and marry him. It took a while but I was able to trust love and life again.
I literally did not ask
@@YuhHuh519 lol who's talking to you
Mama your gone 😢❤but I’m still remembering you 😢😂❤❤❤❤❤ RIP MAMA
Thank You Lord Jesus, for this lovely day!!!!!
🙏🏼
I was listening to his music the other day and read that he passed away today. Wow that is so ironic and sad. He's one of my favorite artist and this song is my inspiration during this difficult time. RIP Bill. Thanks for sharing your music.
Me too Leona
I listen to him all the time, since I was in 5th grade. I’m 22 now
Same here. Been listening to his music a lot since start of 2020. With all that's going on now, trying to channel good feeling of this song. RIP Mr. Withers...May everybody stay home (if you can), stay safe and have many more lovely days to come.
Same!
I have been listening to this song on repeat for about a week. Loved his voice.
When we lose an artist, we don’t cry because we knew them personally. We cry because they helped us know ourselves.
May you all have a Lovely Day.
#RIPBillWithers
Very Profound brotha

RIP Legend!
Same here. Generally a '60s and '70s rock guy but so long that it's not new and mainstream I'll take whatever. This song is legendary, and may you rest in peace Mr. Withers D*:
For me, this is one of most beautiful songs ever produced. I have been on my own for most of my life. Sometimes the world feels like a lonely and cold place. When I listen to this beautiful song and to the lyrics, I feel blessed that I am alive and all in the world seems right again. ❤
❤
I'm alone too my friend....and hearing this song 🎵 is like nurturing your soul. BLESS ALL YOUR DAYS
WITH SMILES 😂❤❤❤❤❤
Hugs
Good music god bless for an eternity
Everyone in 2020 needs to listen to this song.
I second that, and may God go with you.
I'm going to listen to this song every day until our Country is healed. May God bless us ALL. 💕
You are so right
I use to put the record on in the morning when I'd be getting ready for high school!😄

He’s not just singing about 24 Hours.
Not even about One Life time….
“Just one Look” ain’t about “visual look”. What He “Sees”.The”Day” ain’t about 24 hours….
This is about what the LOVE He KNOWS with HER that can Live for a “DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy” and (breathe a “Daaaaaaaaaaay
When my daughter died, someone reminded me that they are physically gone but the love, the energy is still there, still belongs to me. This song always reminds me of that.
So sorry for your loss~God rest her soul~The Butterfly story
In a green meadow filled with Milkweed and flowers there lived a colony of caterpillars.They were a happy colony, living a quiet life in the cool shade.For many months they were very busy, scurrying around and munching on the soft Milkweed leaves. They did notice that every once in a while one of the colony seemed to lose interest in crawling around with its friends.It would go off alone and crawl high up in the trees.It gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.” Look!”said one of the caterpillars to another,one of our colony is climbing up to the tops of the trees. Where do you think he is going?” Up,up and up it slowly went…even as they watched,the caterpillar disappeared from sight it’s friends waited and waited but it didn’t return.” That’s funny!” said one caterpillar to another.”Wasn’t he happy here?” asked another. “Where do you suppose he went ?”wondered a third. No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled. Finally one of the caterpillars gathered its friends together.”I have an idea. The next one of us who climbs to the tops of the trees must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why.” “We promise…”they all said solemnly. One spring day not long after the caterpillar who had suggested the plan found himself climbing high up into the trees.Up up and up he went, higher and higher into the trees. Before he knew what was happening he had broken through the canopy of leaves into the warm sunlight and fell into a deep sleep. When he awoke he looked about in surprise. He couldn’t believe what he saw. A startling change had come over his old body. He now had beautiful wings!
Even as he struggled he felt an impulse to move his wings. The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from his new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself flying into the blue sky. He had become a butterfly. Swooping and dipping in great curves he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by the new butterfly landed on a leaf to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the meadow. Why,he was right above his old friends the caterpillars! There they were, crawling around and munching on Milkweed, just as he had been doing before. Then the butterfly remembered his promise. Without thinking the butterfly darted down. He landed on a flower and looked into the grass. Now that he was a butterfly he could no longer go back.”I can’t return!” he said in dismay. At least I tried, but I can’t keep my promise.Even if I could go back, not one of the caterpillars would know me in my new body. I guess I’ll just have to wait until they become butterflies too.Then they’ll understand what has happened to me and where I went.”And the butterfly winged off happily into its new world of sun and air. Dear God, please remember those who have left the meadow we live in, and remember us who are still here. Amen
@@roxannaalejandro1961 that's beautiful, thank you

RIP the great Bill Withers - this song will always lift a mood! No other song comes close…..
I totally agree with you Toby!
It’s Wednesday, February 21st, 2024 and it’s 75 degrees outside!
I went to take the trash out because it was freezing last night. I was in full winter gear to my surprise it's a Lovely Day in Illinois
For the people with a heavy heart, let Bill's song lift your spirits 🙏
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day
Rest In Glory
Mr Bill
This song bring out the love of my life.to husband James francis.
Lets be honest we all love this song
