A Beautiful Life
Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]
Each day I'll do a golden deed
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a spent
And so I'll do the best I can.
Life's evening sun is sinking low
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done
Where there will be no setting sun.
While going down life's weary road
I'll try to lift some traveler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way.
Life's evening sun is sinking low
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done
Where there will be no setting sun...
