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
