"What a Beautiful Day" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Chris Cagle. It was released in November 2002 as the lead single from his self-titled album. The song reached the top 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, peaking at number 4 and also peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was written by Cagle and Monty Powell.
The song is a moderate up-tempo mostly accompanied by piano and fiddle. It describes a day-by-day chronicle of a man and woman who meet, eventually falling in love and marrying. It starts with day one, on which the two lovers met; day two, where they "grabbed a bite to eat and talked all afternoon"; day fourteen, where they watch a movie together; and so forth. Throughout the rest of the song, various random days throughout the relationship are highlighted in a similar fashion, most notably in the bridge, where the singer looks forward to a long marriage with his lover ("Day eighteen thousand, two hundred and fifty-three / Well, that's fifty years — yeah, here's to you and me").
