This world is beautiful 04:00
Held within its stars 04:07
I keep it in my heart 04:14
The stars are your eyes 04:22
I loved them right from the start 04:31
A world so beautiful 04:39
And I keep it in my heart 04:44
A ghosteen dances in my hand 05:00
Slowly twirling, twirling all around 05:09
Glowing circle in my hand 05:18
Dancing, dancing, dancing all around 05:26
A ghosteen dances in my hand 05:35
Slowly twirling, twirling all around 05:43
A ghosteen dances in my hand 05:52
Dancing, dancing, dancing all around 06:01
Here we go 06:16
There goes the moonlit man 07:00
Got a suitcase in his hand 07:09
He's moving on down the road 07:17
Things tend to fall apart 07:27
Starting with his heart 07:32
He kisses you lightly and he leaves 07:37
Leaves your sleeping body 07:43
Curled and dreaming 07:47
Around your smile 07:53
Your smile 08:01
The three bears watch the TV 08:16
They age a lifetime, oh lord 08:21
Mama bear holds the remote 08:27
Papa bear he just floats 08:31
And baby bear, he has gone 08:35
To the moon in a boat 08:39
On a boat 08:47
I'm speaking about love now 09:04
And how the lights of love go down 09:09
You're in the back room washing his clothes 09:15
Love's like that, you know 09:22
It's like a tidal flow 09:26
And the past with its fierce undertow 09:29
Won't ever let us go 09:35
Won't ever let you go 09:45
If I could move the night I would 10:11
And I would turn the world around if I could 10:16
There's nothing wrong with loving something 10:21
You can't hold in your hand 10:25
You're sitting on the edge of the bed 10:32
Smoking and shaking your head 10:35
Well there's nothing wrong with loving things 10:41
That cannot even stand 10:48
Well there goes your moony man 11:19
With his suitcase in his hand 11:23
Every road is lined with animals 11:29
That rise from their blood and walk 11:33
Well the moon won't get a wink of sleep 11:39
If I stay all night and talk 11:46
If I stay all night and talk 11:51
12:00

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
This world is beautiful
Held within its stars
I keep it in my heart
The stars are your eyes
I loved them right from the start
A world so beautiful
And I keep it in my heart
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Slowly twirling, twirling all around
Glowing circle in my hand
Dancing, dancing, dancing all around
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Slowly twirling, twirling all around
A ghosteen dances in my hand
Dancing, dancing, dancing all around
Here we go
There goes the moonlit man
Got a suitcase in his hand
He's moving on down the road
Things tend to fall apart
Starting with his heart
He kisses you lightly and he leaves
Leaves your sleeping body
Curled and dreaming
Around your smile
Your smile
The three bears watch the TV
They age a lifetime, oh lord
Mama bear holds the remote
Papa bear he just floats
And baby bear, he has gone
To the moon in a boat
On a boat
I'm speaking about love now
And how the lights of love go down
You're in the back room washing his clothes
Love's like that, you know
It's like a tidal flow
And the past with its fierce undertow
Won't ever let us go
Won't ever let you go
If I could move the night I would
And I would turn the world around if I could
There's nothing wrong with loving something
You can't hold in your hand
You're sitting on the edge of the bed
Smoking and shaking your head
Well there's nothing wrong with loving things
That cannot even stand
Well there goes your moony man
With his suitcase in his hand
Every road is lined with animals
That rise from their blood and walk
Well the moon won't get a wink of sleep
If I stay all night and talk
If I stay all night and talk
