Lyrics Life Is Beautiful - Ryan Adams, The Cardinals

Life Is Beautiful

You plant a rose
And if the rose comes up You’re thankful to God
And when it doesn’t you cuss him
You raise a child
And when the child grows up You got to learn to let go If you can’t learn to love him
But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don’t believe in love
Then I don’t believe in you
And I do Now I’m not saying only bad news comes
For the people who want it But you gotta play that music for who’s listening
You got to have someone you wanna sing it to Oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe
Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don’t believe in love
Then I don’t believe in you
And I do Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset
Through the windows of a store and I want it Anyway, if I ever felt haunted
You were there for me These angry people who are waiting to judge you
Have their own judgment that they’ll have live up to Open your mouth
And if nothing come through
Remember
You’re the one that sings
And it’s a gift
And life’s a beautiful thing
Oh, don’t waste it doll
You build a house and if the house comes up You gotta work on that house
If you want to make it your home
'Cause everything inside that’s not something you own
Is what you’re taking with you
On the day that you go And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Oh, hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don’t believe in love
Then I don’t believe in you
And I do
