There was a young girl long agonwho lived a peaceful life untold.nShe understood that love was everything.nA jungle took her far awaynwhere her daddy worked, and she would playnwith friends who taught her how to be a lady.nnShe had no rings on her fingers.nShe had diamonds in her eyes.nShe had no money to be reckoned with.nShe had love within her life.nAnd I heard her singing.nnWouldn't you saynWouldn't you saynWouldn't you saynthat life is beautiful?nnShe sang of things that pleased her soul.nShe questioned life, and made it known.nShe stored her knowledge deep inside her mind.nnShe had no mansion on a hillside.nShe had castles in the sky.nShe had no gold for inheritance.nShe had time on her side.nAnd I heard her singing.nnWouldn't you saynWouldn't you saynWouldn't you saynthat life is beautiful?nnAnd as the years go by,nthat peaceful girl was I.nAnd I'm still singing.nnWouldn't you saynWouldn't you saynWouldn't you saynthat life is beautiful?
