Songtexte Life Is Beautiful - Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

You plant a rose
And if the rose comes up
You're thankful to God
And when it doesn't, you curse Him

You raise a child
And when the child grows up
You got to learn to let go
If you can't, learn to love him

But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal
And it makes me believe

Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you and I do

Now, I'm not saying only bad news comes
For the people who want it to
But you gotta play that music for who's listening
You got to have someone you wanna sing it to

Oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Blue sky cracking
And it makes me believe

Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you and I do

Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset
Through the windows of a store and I want it
Anyway, if I ever felt haunted
You were there for me

These angry people
Who are waiting to judge you
Have their own judgment
That they'll have to live up to

Open your mouth and if nothing will come through
Remember you're the one that sings
And it's a gift and life's a beautiful thing
Oh, don't waste it doll

You build a house
And if the house comes up
You gotta work on that house
I want to make it your home

'Cause everything inside
That's not something you own
Is what you're taking with you
On the day that you go

And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal
And it makes me believe

Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you and I do
I believe in you, I do
