Life is Beautiful
by Michelle Tumes
from her album "Listen"

There was a young girl long ago
who lived a peaceful life untold
She understood that love was everything
A jungle took her far away
where her daddy worked, and she would play
with friends who taught her how to be a lady

She had no rings on her fingers
She had diamonds in her eyes
She had no money to be reckoned with
She had love within her life
And I heard her singing

Wouldn't you say
Wouldn't you say
Wouldn't you say
that life is beautiful?

She sang of things that pleased her soul
She questioned life, and made it known
She stored her knowledge deep inside her mind

She had no mansion on a hillside
She had castles in the sky
She had no gold for inheritance
She had time on her side
And I heard her singing

Wouldn't you say
Wouldn't you say
Wouldn't you say
that life is beautiful?

And as the years go by,
that peaceful girl was I
And I'm still singing

Wouldn't you say
Wouldn't you say
Wouldn't you say
that life is beautiful?
