“Cause Life Is Beautiful”

There is great hopelessness in the dark
before the dawn
And I awake to your face and all
my fears are gone
And the embers in the fireplace remain warm
And I can see the container that reminds me
of the simplicity of popcorn
And then I know
life is beautiful
so very, very
beautiful

Sometimes we stress about the things that
are long gone
ignoring the ones that are at a distance
the length of our arms
We talk about tomorrows as if our todays
we’ve given up on
And then I know
life is beautiful
so very, very
beautiful

I have spent my fair share of time
inside the eye of the storm
When all around me nothing
reminded me of calm
I’ve walked bare feet on sharpened stones
my calluses never brought me closer to home
But you’ve never made me feel alone
And then I know
life is beautiful
so very, very
beautiful

Many a times we’ve awoken from the
dreams of lovers past
And often wondered a different turn would it have last
Realizing they too in the night have had their
romantic glance
But knowing what we have is not by chance
And then I know
life is beautiful
so very, very
beautiful

So let our tomorrows come to us
whenever they may
Quickly letting go of sorrows without delays
Place one foot in front of the other
on the path ahead
Look not on the footsteps on the
road from whence you came
Only the shortened journey to
your destination instead

And then I know life is beautiful so very, very
Beautiful
