lyrics

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

PERHAPS YOU’LL SLIP THAT DRESS OFF THE HANGER IN YOUR ROOM
GENTLY DOWN ACROSS YOUR SKIN, THE WAY I WATCH YOU, WATCHING YOU
GOING TO THE MIRROR, TO PRETTY UP YOUR FACE
YOUR CURLS CARESS A TREMOR AS YOU NESTLE INTO LACE

PERHAPS THE DRESS WE CHOSE, IS LIKE THE SONG WE’RE IN
TIME SIGNATURES THAT CHANGE, TRANSPOSE, THE KEY THE KEEPER KEEPS
THE LIPSTICK, LIPSTICK, ON YOUR LIPS – A TRICK THE EYE MAY PLAY
THE SHADOW OF YOUR EYESHADOW LOOKS FOR A PLACE TO STAY

CHORUS:
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, JUST LIKE THE MOVIE SAYS
EVEN WHEN IT’S SADLY SO
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, EVEN WHEN IT’S SADLY SO
THE LOVE REMAINS SURROUNDING, EVEN WHEN THE LOVED ONE GOES

PERHAPS YOU’LL SLIP THAT DRESS, OFF YOUR SHOULDERS TO THE FLOOR
TO LIE WITH NAKEDNESS BESIDE, TO GIVE TO TAKE, TO TAKE TO GIVE,
THE JOINING OF WHICH WILL BE, FOR WHICHEVER’S SAKE
PERHAPS THE RADIO WILL PLAY THE SONG FOR HIM NOT ME

REPEAT CHORUS

IS THIS YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE, IS THIS YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE SONG?
YOU PLAY IT OVER MANY TIMES, IT PLAYS AGAIN ANOTHER TIME
IS THIS YOUR FAVOURITE SCENE, THE PART THEY PLAY THAT MOVIE SONG?
YOU PLAY IT OVER MANY TIMES, IT PLAYS ANOTHER HUNDRED TIMES

REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
REPEAT CHORUS
THE LOVE REMAINS SURROUNDING, EVEN WHEN THE LOVED ONE GOES
