Beautiful World Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - John Prine

Some of us spend hours 

In front of a friday night mirror 

Trying to understand the kinda world 

Where the beautiful prosper 

Slicking up the kinda hair 

That the magazine's say's a lost cause 

Picking out the kinda girl in your mind 

To go walking with you

Yesterday I met a girl 

She made marilyn monroe look like . . . me 

All she had to do was walk in the room 

And my problems were starting 

Then she'd at me and she'd smile 

And I feel feel such a pain in my heart 

Wanting her to come and whisper to me 

"you're the man of my dreams" 

Beautiful world, beautiful world 

Sending me dreams, touching my hair 

Making me cry . . . so I feel alive 

Beautiful world, why do I hide? 

Photos 

I dunno why 

I should spend so much time feeling so bad 

I got everything a sinner could hope to get 

This side of eden 

Maybe some day I'll wake up 

And I'll do what I should 

Write a song to make heaven and earth 

Go waltzing in time 

Repeat chorus
