Lyrics
Life is a Beautiful Thing
There?s music in memories
It?s poetry in the air
I never thought I would sing life is a beautiful thing
A song of celebration
A dance of despair
Let the pendulum swing life is a beautiful thing
(Bridge)
Sometimes I get lost in this great big city
Since I found you how pretty life can be
There?s love in your laughter
My heart in repair
All the joy you bring makes life a beautiful thing
Solo
There?s art in conversation
The answer to a prayer
Let the telephone ring life is a beautiful thing
Sometimes I get lost in this great big city
Since I found you how pretty life can be
There?s a song for every season
It?s magic in the air
Winter to Spring
Life is a beautiful thing
All the love you bring makes life a beautiful thing
