Life Is Beautiful

There was a young girl long ago
Who lived a peaceful life untold
She understood that love was everything
The 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 mansions 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
And as the years go by That peaceful girl was I And I’m still singing
Wouldn’t you say
that life is beautiful
