We flew over Alaska; we saw the frozen mountains pierce the clouds It was beautiful We felt the waves of New Zealand; the water shimmered beneath a moonlight shroud It was beautiful Close to home in an ordinary room we felt You there It's my favorite memory You're so beautiful

The spring in Appalachia, with flowers swaying above the fields of green It was beautiful Driving in New England, the road littered with bright October leaves It was beautiful Close to home in an ordinary room we felt You there It's my favorite memory You're so beautiful to me Thanks for the songs, these seven friends and eight good years It is You that made them sweet, it was beautiful

Pictures looking back, just snapshots of the past cannot compare, to feeling what we felt, through anything that came, that You were there

A thousand smiling faces, backlit and bouncing to the beat It was beautiful As many soaring voices, forever changed by Your mercy It was beautiful Far away from all the lights and noise we felt You there It's my favorite memory You're so beautiful to me Thanks for the songs, these seven friends and eight good years It is You that made them sweet You're so beautiful to me
