Oh What a Beautiful World - Rodney Crowell

It’s the time and the place

Every line on your face

It’s the truth and the lie

It’s to live and to die

Oh what a beautiful world

It’s a girl and a boy

And the first taste of joy

It’s an old photograph of two hearts torn in half

Oh what a beautiful world

We build our hopes up high, perchance to someday fly

Across a clear blue sky to someplace new

It’s a walk in the park or a shot in the dark

It’s a thief in the night, or the first ray of light

Oh what a beautiful world

We live our legends down, wake up in lost and found

Become that highway sound and roll on through

It’s the rise and the fall of the clocks on the wall

It’s the first and the last of your days flying past

Oh what a beautiful world
