lyrics

Seize The Day

I walked out on a London morning
The threat of rain, all shades of grey
I didn’t mind the raindrops forming
I was content to seize the day
I was content to seize the day.

I walked besides a grey old river
Big Ben chimed, I dreamed away
The autumn chill made me shiver
I was content to seize the day
I was content to seize the day.

Chorus
Carpe diem, what can you say? I’m just happy to own a day
Carpe diem, what can you say? I’m just happy to own a day.

Trains went by; children were playing
I walked the Southbank all the way
October winds; trees were swaying
I was content to seize the day
I was content to seize the day.

Chorus

Walked along to the cold old palace
Statues of soldiers glared away
They changed the guard but without Alice
I was content to seize the day
I was content to seize the day.

Chorus

A shabby sun and a dirty rainbow
Rain spat down in a sad grey spray
Watched some boats to make the time go
I was content to seize the day
I was content to seize the day.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Let it rain I have my glory
I’m in love and in love to stay
Who she is? That’s another story
I’m just content to seize the day
I'm just content to seize the day
Carpe diem, what can I say?
I’m just content to seize the day.
