And oh how beautiful the cars on the motorway

And how beautiful the mist in the trees

And how beautiful the tunnels in the mountains

And how beautiful the falling leaves

And I’m a coward and you know it, always running from a fight

I’ve got coffee in the morning and I’ve got whiskey late at night

And though I spend life singing sad songs it’s only now I realise

Sometimes it’s just good to be alive

And oh how beautiful the seasons blowing through an endless year

The leaves that bud and flower and then fall and disappear

And oh how beautiful my darling that you and I are still here

I’ll sing to you in a hotel room, and whisper all my fears

And when I get nervous I repeat myself and when I’m tired I just complain

Running from the storm, and hiding from the rain

But one of these days I’m gonna prove to you, what you mean to me

Maybe I’ll go and buy a ring, maybe I’ll get down on one knee
