Learning English through Music “Beautiful Day” by U2 The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony groundBut there's no room, no space to rent in this townYou're out of luck and the reason that you had to careThe traffic is stuck and you're not movin' anywhereYou thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this placeSomeone you could lend a hand in return for graceIt's a beautiful day,The sky falls and you feel like It's a beautiful day,Don’t let it get away You’re on the road but you’ve got no destinationYou’re in the mud, in the maze of her imaginationYou love this town even if that doesn’t ring trueYou’ve been all over and it’s been all over you

  14. It's a beautiful day,Don't let it get awayIt's a beautiful day,Touch me, take me to that other placeTeach me love, I know I’m not a hopeless caseSee the world in green and blueSee China right in front of youSee the canyons broken by cloudSee the tuna fleets clearing the sea outSee the bedouin fires at nightSee the oil fields at first lightSee the bird with a leaf in her mouthAfter the flood all the colors came out

  15. It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away A beautiful day Touch me, take me to that other place Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case What you don’t have you don’t need it now What you don’t know you can feel it somehow What you don’t have you don’t need it now Don’t need it now It was a beautiful day
