A Beautiful Life

Christopher

"Baby, I'm pregnant, " she said
And I saw my whole life
Flash before my eyes
So much for planning ahead
We're gon' be alright
There won't be a right time

Oh, I said, "I am way too young"
I'm just a kid, I can't raise one

​

It feels like my life is over
Feels like my future's crushed
And I'm gonna miss the times when
It was just the two of us
I don't ever want to let go
Of everything that I love
It sure feels like dying
Saying goodbye
To my beautiful life

​

"Daddy, I can't sleep, " she said
"Can you leave the light on?
And please sing me my song"
And I can't help but think to myself
Those green eyes and brown curls
Turned into my whole world

She's growing up so fast
If only I could make it last

​

It feels like my life is over
Feels like my future's crushed
'Cause my baby's getting older
Tomorrow she'll be all grown up
I don't ever want to let go
Of everything that I love
I turn off the lights
And say goodnight
To my beautiful life

​

Pack the bags and ready to go
We look at each other
She looks like her mother
Off to chase dreams of her own
She cries in the backseat
As we wave at the taxi
Oh, our baby's moving out
Leaving this home an empty house

​

Feels like my life is over
Feels like my future's crushed
And I'm gonna miss the times when
It was just the three of us
I don't ever want to let go
Of everything that I love
It sure feels like dying
Saying goodbye
To my beautiful life
To my beautiful life

 

"Baby, I'm pregnant, " she said
And I saw my whole life
Flash before my eyes

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

QUEEN

Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?

​

The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on

​

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance, on and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

​

The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on

​

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday, will  grow but never die
I can fly, my friends

​

The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

​

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show
Show
Show must go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on

FAST CAR

Luke Combs

You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

​

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
And you and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living

​

See, my old man's got a problem
He lived with the bottle, that's the way it is
Said his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his

So, Mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him"
So, I quit school and that's what I did

​

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we could fly away?
Still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight, or live and die this way

So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

​

You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
So I work in the market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
And we'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs

​

So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

​

You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on driving

​

So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
I, I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

 

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough, so we could fly away?
You still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight, or live and die this way
