    Joe Cocker ~
    You are so beautiful to me
    Can't you see?
    You're everything I hoped for
    You're everything I need...
    You are so beautiful to me.

    It was playing a lot when my son was born. Whenever I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes. Also...

    The lyrics to What a Wonderful World by the great Louis Armstrong.
    And I think to myself...... what a wonderful world!

    This is one of those forgotten Elton Tunes but is one of my favorites .

    Music by Elton John
    Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
    From the soundtrack Friends

    I hope the day will be a lighter highway
    For friends are found on every road
    Can you ever think of any better way
    For the lost and weary travellers to go

    Making friends for the world to see
    Let the people know you got what you need
    With a friend at hand you will see the light
    If your friends are there then everything's all right

    It seems to me a crime that we should age
    These fragile times should never slip us by
    A time you never can or shall erase
    As friends together watch their childhood fly

    Making friends for the world to see
    Let the people know you got what you need
    With a friend at hand you will see the light
    If your friends are there then everything's all right

    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace...


    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one


    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...


    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one
    Scowlkat, this has to be one of the best songs every written. The theme is a lot like my favorites :)
    John Lennon was such a visionary. I still miss him :(

    "Signs, Signs, Everywhere's a Sign
    Blocking the scenery and breaking my mind.
    Do this, don't do that. Can't you read the sign?"

    kept going through my head today. I've been on the road way too much--LOL.
