Mind Blowin'
the roar of thunder everywhere
I close my eyes, I realize
I'm far away from home
in the Twilight Zone, the shadows mourn
Out of the night came the shining ...
the Metal Age
Ivory towers conceal my eyes
caught up in a long lost time
Where no one speaks, at liberty,
they guard their destiny
to forge the steel, they will reveal
out of the night came the shining ...
the Metal Age
I'm falling into the breach
I'm a stranger in this land, I'm falling
Standing strong, the brave and the elder
with scar
It's A Beautiful Thing
(Jeffrey Steele/Craig Wiseman)
Looks like everybody's here
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's getting full
Even old Aunt Ruby came
Her first time on an aeroplain, it's her sister's girl
She said she wouldn't miss it for the world
And all them young'uns squirmin' in the pews
Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow Callahan
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
Haven't spoken since '88
Just said Hello
It's a good day to let it go
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing
Daddy's waitin' with the bride
As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear
He says it's hot in here
He hugs his little girl and asks
How did you grow up so fast, God I wish
Your momma could be here for this
Everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walking down the aisle in her momma's gown
And Daddy breaks on down
Gran and Gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows
I guess it's workin' out
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing
A little table full of gifts
Catering is coverdish and the wedding band
Well that's on her hand
Tommy's teasing Lorali
Pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows a day will come
When the angels gather, and the music play
The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
Love, two people in Love
It's a beautiful thing
Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh sweet Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, love, it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
