You can do what you want;  just seize the day
What you’re doing tomorrow’s gonna come your way
Don’t you ever consider giving up,
You will find, oooh

It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn

Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There’s so many things there
That’s gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom, a laughing child
Such a dream, oooh

It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
I just wanna be here beside you
Oh yeah, all right
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn

You’re looking for somewhere to belong
You’re standing all alone
For someone to guide you on your way
Now and forever

It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
I just wanna be anybody
Living a different way

It’s a beautiful life
I’m gonna take you to a place I’ve never been before, oh yeah
It’s a beautiful life
I’m gonna take you in my arms and fly away with you tonight
Yeah, alright;  it’s a beautiful life
Yeah, alright;  it’s a beautiful life
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life
It’s a beautiful life alright, oooh
It’s a beautiful life, oooh
It’s a beautiful life alright, oooh
It’s a beautiful life
