May each day in the week be a good day

May the Lord always watch over you

And may all of your hopes turn to wishes

And may all of your wishes come true

 

May each day in the month be a good day

May you make friends with each one you meet

And may all of your daydreams be mem'ries

And may all of your mem'ries be sweet

 

The weeks turn to months and the months into Years

There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears

But one thing I pray to heaven above

May each of your days be a day full of love

 

May each day in the year be a good day

May each dawn find you happy and gay

And may all of your days be as lovely

As the one you shared with me today

May each day of your life be a good day

And good night.
