Don McLean - It's A Beautiful Life Lyrics

I wish my brain would operate instead of standing still
It's all so complicated
The thread of my own thoughts is disappearing
Towards seems to be a logical conclusion

I guess I've just ran out of ideas
I've heard a million songs about this and that
And they gave me satisfaction
But I see, it's a beautiful life

Now out comes the second verse
And I have to at least keep the measures straight
It's been a long time now
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 like the verses
They were so nice and even

My eye would never be that good again
I lost the certain sense of rhythm
But I gained the sense of time
'Cause I see, it's a beautiful life

I like the old things but I just can't give up the idea
Of trying something 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
