About Greatest Day

"Greatest Day" is a song by Beverley Knight, released as the fifth single from her album Prodigal Sista. The track became her biggest charting single up to that point when it peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart, and still remains one of her best-known hits. The track, which was re-recorded by Mike Spencer to move the sound away from the original album version to a more disco feel, was nominated for Best Single at the 1999 MOBO Awards. Knight recently performed the song as the final song on her Music City Soul tour. The video for the song was shot by director Jake Nava who also previously shot Beverley's "Made It Back '99" video and has since gone on to become a much sought-after video director.

It's a good thing the air feels cool today
And it's better that God, don't send the rain
And it's best if heaven holds back the clouds
'cause inside 'o' me there's fire untamed 

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life
And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life 

It's a good thing your heater broke down today
And it's better you keep them drinks on ice
And it's best if you got them chills down in your soul
'cause the heat inside 'o' me will surely suffice

And none of the world's restraints could ever hold me
and none of the superficial could tie me down
and none of the pain I felt was enough to break me
See my face was never made to fear

[Chorus]
And I'm feeling... (Good)
Could you qualify that? (Never better)
And what day is today people? (The greatest day of my life, ah-ooh!) (Good)
Ohh (Never better ooh)
And what day is it?
(Whoah greatest day, greatest day)

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

[Chorus: x 3]
