Was It Beautiful?

La la la la

La la la la la

La la la, la la la la la

[Verse 1]

I think it's sad and your friend, he does too

That the love of a lifetime escaped someone like you

Your beautiful house is so empty with loss

And it's heavy as a teardrop

[Chorus]

But oh, was it beautiful when

You were a child and the world had no end?

And the stars were an ocean that bathed you in light

Now you ponder your view

And you think 'what's become of you?'

All this love you never show

All this love, it don't know

[Verse]

But I know there's beauty that's yet to be won if you

Only have faith enough to hold on

It's pure and magnificent, it's simple and true

And it's there, there with your name on

[Chorus]

And oh, was it beautiful when

She held your hand and the world had no end?

And you saw the children you'd have in her eyes

While the hills are asleep

While the sky sighs in sympathy

You stay up all through the night

Watch the clock write a symphony

[Bridge]

Of life

Of life

Love and hope

[Verse]

And now a confession, I wrote this for you

But I guess that it speaks of my own life too

[Chorus]

'Cause oh, it was beautiful when

I was a child and the world had no end

And the stars were a blanket that bathed me in light

I guess I'm doing ok

Hey Ma, at least I'm not a criminal

Still I think of what could have been

I think of what's yet to come

[Outro]

What's to come?

What's to come?

Hmmmmm
