Lyrics

Beautiful World

It's a beautiful world we live in

A sweet romantic place

Beautiful people everywhere

The way they show they care

Makes me want to say

It's a beautiful world

It's a beautiful world

It's a beautiful world

For you

For you

For you

It's a wonderful time to be here

It's nice to be alive

Wonderful people everywhere

The way they comb their hair

Makes me want to say

It's a wonderful place

It's a wonderful place

It's a wonderful place

For you

For you

For you

Hey!

Tell me what I say

Boy and girl with the new clothes on

You can shake it to me all night long

Hey, hey

[Guitar solo]

It's a beautiful world we live in

A sweet romantic place

Beautiful people everywhere

The way they show they care

Makes me want to say

It's a beautiful world

It's a beautiful world

It's a beautiful world

For you

For you

For you

It's not for me (It's a beautiful world)

For you (It's a beautiful world)

For you (It's a beautiful world)

For you (It's a beautiful world)

Not me (it's a beautiful world)

(It's a beautiful world)

(It's a beautiful world)

(It's a beautiful world)

(It's a beautiful, beautiful world)

(It's a beautiful, beautiful world)

(It's a beautiful, beautiful world)

(It's a beautiful, beautiful world)
