Barry Manilow - Beautiful Music, Pt. 2 Lyrics

Before I knew that I was blessed
When I was just like the rest of the people
Who never let dreams in their minds
Music would play and say
Maybe you're wastin' your time

Before I knew what good could be
When I couldn't see the need or the reason
Music would play and say
Hey, what a dummy you are!

And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin' to me about love of a fashion
That I never heard anywhere else
That's when I said,
"gotta get some of that for myself"

And when I heard about hurtin' and healin'
Beautiful words about beautiful feelings
What lots of believin' could do
Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
You're beautiful, beautiful music!

Before I saw my life in lights
When I couldn't taste the nights I was missin'
I'd listen alone in my bed
And music would sing to me
Things no one else even said

And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin' to me about love of fashion
That I never heard anywhere else
That's when I said,
"gotta get some of that for myself"

And when I heard about hurtin' and healin'
Beautiful words about beautiful feelings
What lots of believin' could do
Beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
You're beautiful, beautiful music!

And now I laugh and now I cry like a baby
Livin' and lovin' each day
And just maybe,
For all the good things that come true
Beautiful music
The best of my blessings is you
You're beautiful, beautiful music!
