For family…
Beautiful
She used to be tall…
You can see it in the photos in the hall
Her long brown hair catching the wind
See that youthful smile…
See that young woman again
He worked outside
His hands were rough from the axe and the riding
I know it’s yellowed and stained and weathered a bit
But see his arm around her… that strong arm around her
You can freeze the world
In a moment it seems
Remember all the possibilities
Look back, and be sad for what’s gone
Or be reminded… life’s more beautiful than long.
Her hands too small to grab that ball
His toothless smile when he went to school that fall
Where have those kids gone who filled up our home?
Oh yeah…
They’ve got kids now… they’ve got kids of their own.
This one I come back to…
This one was the first time, the first time I saw you
I saw those eyes then but didn’t yet know
How beautiful… how beautiful can grow…
You can freeze the world
In a moment it seems
Remember all the possibilities
Look back, and be sad for what’s gone
Or be reminded… life’s more beautiful than long.
You can freeze the world
In a moment it seems
Remember all the possibilities
Look back, and be sad for what’s gone
Or be reminded… life’s more beautiful than long.

A very touching beautiful song with a lovely melody and performance. I really like your lyric line "Life's more beautiful than long." A good reminder to us all to appreciate and be grateful for life.

What a beautiful sentimental song. The chorus adds a wonderful message. The guitar and vocals are a perfect complement. I enjoyed that very much.
