Before I knew that I was blessed When I was just like the rest of the people Who never let dreams in their minds Music would play and say Maybe you're wastin' your time Before I knew what good could be When I couldn't see the need or the reason For trusting in me or my star Music would play and say Hey, what a dummy you are! And when I heard all the words about passion Singin' to me about love of a fashion That I never heard anywhere else That's when I said "gotta get some of that for myself" And when I heard about hurtin' and healin' Beautiful words about beautiful feelings What lots of believin' could do Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true You're beautiful, beautiful music! Before I saw my life in lights When I couldn't taste the nights I was missin' I'd listen alone in my bed And music would sing to me Things no one else even said And when I heard all the words about passion Singin' to me about love of fashion That I never heard anywhere else That's when I said "gotta get some of that for myself" And when I heard about hurtin' and healin' Beautiful words about beautiful feelings What lots of believin' could do Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true You're beautiful, beautiful music! And now I laugh and now I cry like a baby Livin' and lovin' each day And just maybe For all the good things that come true Beautiful music The best of my blessings is you You're beautiful, beautiful music!
