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!
