Today Will Be a Good Day Dianne Reeves

[Intro]
This song right here is a very special song to me
You see, the words of this song I can't really take full credit for having written 'cause it's words that I've heard my mama say every day of her life
This is her creed and this is her song
And now I get to spread the good news and sing it to the world, mhm

[Verse 1]
In the sweet light of the morning
When the sun begins to rise
I was awakened by some singing
Of birds just flying by
Now they was telling one another
Today will be a good day
I'm gonna make it that way

[Verse 2]
I got myself up to greet the day
Thank the good Lord for what he made
Made my bed up, had myself some coffee
I read the newspaper to see what they had to say
Now whether it's good news or it's just blues
Today will be a good day
I'm gonna make it that way

[Chorus]
Gonna be a good day
Yes, a good day
Good day
I'm gonna make it that way
Gonna be a good day
Lord, a good day
Woo, good day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Now whether it's good news or it's just blues
Today will be a good day
I've got to make it that way, yeah, yeah, yeah
