It's A Beautiful Day - The Dolphins

Dedicated to those who love the music of late 60s San Francisco and the gentle spirit exuded by the beautiful people who were called "Flower Children".

THE DOLPHINS
Sung by David LaFlamme
(Violinist & Leader of the group)

Written by
Fred Neil

This old world's just got to change
It just can't stay the way it's been
And all the ways of war
Won't change it in the end

So I've been searching for the dolphin in the sea
And sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me?

Now sometimes I'm just sitting around
Thinking about Saturday's child
And all about the time
We were running wild

And I keep searching for the dolphin in the sea
And sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me?

Now I'm not the one to tell this world
Just how to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all hate is gone

So I've been searching for the dolphin in the sea
And sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me?

This old world feels happy
This old world feels fine
Lord, this old world feels mellow
Let me fill your cup with wine

@TheLynxen - There can be no doubt that you will take all the beauty that you've you've collected through the years, to include music like this, from this life into the next...
