I woke up one morning with this tune stuck in my head. I added some dummy lyrics like "I know you did the dishes today". I thought it sounded like a show tune, so I made it a show tune.
There's no story content to the song. I thought of a person telling another person that their grumpiness is just an act and they know they're really enjoying the day.
All you do is grumble
Do nothing but complain
Dragging people to the dark
It drives them insane
But there’s a chink inside your armor
I’ve figured out your game
I know you know that it’s a beautiful day
I know you know that it’s a beautiful day
From a source that can be quite reputable
A fact that you see is now indisputable
I know you know that it’s a beautiful day
I know you’re worried what the others will say
They’ll say you took your reputation
And threw it all away
Worked so hard to look so inscrutable
Blocked the qualities that seemed unsuitable
I know you know that it’s a beautiful day
One’s good qualities are nothing to hide
It doesn’t make you stronger if you brush them aside
When vulnerabilities are locked up inside
It’s makes it that much harder to enjoy the ride
Sooooooo
I know you know that it’s a beautiful day
I know you know that it’s a beautiful day
From a source that can be quite reputable
A fact that is now indisputable
I know you know
You know I know
I know you know that it’s a beautiful day

What a wonderful melody and I like the song's message. Maybe arpeggiate those piano chords with an interesting rhythm and you've got a really great musical theatre song. This melody is so great that I think it's worth developing this song further. To me, melody is the biggest part of the battle of trying to write a good song. Great production and accompaniment really add to a song, but without a good catchy melody, the song tends to be forgettable, at least in my humble opinion. You have a truly great melody here. I love it!

Beatlesesque. The vamping piano on the chorus reminded me a bit of a Day in the Life. Great melody. Nice work!
