Don McLean — Its a Beautiful Life

I wish my brain would operate instead of standing still, it's all so complicated The thread of my own thoughts is disappearing to what seems to be a logical conclusion, I guess I've run out of ideas I've heard a million songs about this and that and it gave me satisfaction But I see, it's a beautiful life Now comes the second verse and I have to at least keep the measure straight It's been a long time and I'm really insecure about it all, I guess I didn't like seeing the things I saw Who needs it? It's been a little painful, and I hope I don't like pain, 'cause I'd hate to think of myself like that 'Cause I see, it's a beautiful life How did I ever let some of those ideas out of the box? It was just a feeling I had, and I liked the verses, they were so nice and even My eye will never be that good again I lost a certain sense of rhythm, but I gained a certain sense of time 'Cause I see, it's a beautiful life I like the old things, but I can't give up the idea of trying something just a little bit different, even if it's stupid 'Cause I see, it's a beautiful life Yes I see, it's a beautiful life And I see, it's a beautiful life
