Lyrics

Sitting on the shore of a lake I have a decision to make About what to do next With the time I have left

Then along comes a man Next to me he just stands Looks down at the ground And he slowly turns around

He looks at my tearful eyes And softly asks me 'why' 'Why are you sitting here?' 'Why are your eyes filled with tears?'

I look up slowly and I say 'That years ago on this very day' 'At this very lake' 'I made a tragic mistake'

He slowly breathes At one with the breeze he softly sighs Then opens his eyes ... 'But look at you now', he says with a smile 'Sat at this lake', 'On this beautiful day'

He picks up a flower and says 'Where would you be now?' ... He hands the flower to me, answers ... 'Not here to see' ....

'The miracles all around' 'In the beauty that surrounds' Turns and whispers 'Thank you for your time' More tears fill my eyes

As he walks into the sun I know what is to be done To live the rest of my days With a passion and faith That with the time I have left To always do my best And try to find a way To have a beautiful day

And be thankful for the time That I have been alive ... For all the beauty I have seen ... And the places I have been The friends who know it's tough And with help from their love Found the strength to stay ... And enjoy every beautiful day

It's a beautiful day It's a beautiful day Such a beautiful day

A beautiful day
