Lyrics for How Beautiful
Jammin’ and jokin’ keeping your world open for all to see / Drinking and dancing, just short of romancing showing how life goes on continuously
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful
Music in a way came along to save the day / But it may not have soothed you all the way / But it let us come together to smile and sing and play / So we could open up more and more each day
And how beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful
The blues you sang above the street spoke to me differently / Our meeting at the crossroads, a simple twist of fate / Made my eyes open up and see
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful And how beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful
Jammin’ and jokin’ keeping your world open for all to see / Drinking and dancing, just short of romancing showing how life goes on continuously
