Beautiful Thing

Olivia Newton-John · A Celebration In Song [2011]

Treadin' water, killin' time

Inspiration, hard to find

Never noticed, symphony

And the music's playin' just for me

Precious moment, time stood still



Feels like so long since I felt

The sun on my face

Why did it take so long

To find this place?



If it were not for this

I'd never have known or felt

Such a beautiful thing



And all I ever wanted seems so shallow

Suddenly I see reality

And the picture's comin' in to focus

Right in front of me

Just a moment, time stood still



Feels like so long since I felt

The sun on my face

Why did it take so long

To find this place?



If it were not for this

I'd never have known or felt

Such a beautiful thing



Every joy in life

You gotta dig down low

Wouldn't feel so strong

But for sorrow



And it feels like so long since I felt

The sun on my face

Why did it take so long

To find this place?



If it were not for this

I'd never have known

Never have known

Never have known or felt

Such a beautiful thing

Beautiful thing, beautiful thing
