A Beautiful Life – Donny & Marie Osmond

It’s time for a little bit country and a little bit Rock-n-Roll! Here’s a happy song for our Thanksgiving playlist by none other than the legendary sibling duo Donny & Marie Osmond! The Osmond family are legend. They’ve been called “Mormon royalty” more than once (which always makes me laugh). I grew up watching the Donny & Marie Show (my secret crush was actually on little brother Jimmy, who was closer to my age). The Osmond clan from Provo, Utah has had their share of triumph and tragedy, but despite it all they continue to keep their faith and share their gifts with the world. I truly adore them! I love the message of this song. No matter how hard things may be, when there is Someone beside us to guide and love us, that’s all we really need. It is A Beautiful Life.

This performance was produced by the Hallmark Channel for their 2012 Thanksgiving special on The Marie Show. Enjoy! – MoSop

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE – LYRICS

Written by Gary B. Baker, Frank Myers, Nicky Chinn

I don’t read the paper, I don’t watch the news

I can look out my window and the sky is still blue

We’re running on empty, but the glass is half full

It hasn’t been easy, but we’re doing OK

The bills keep on coming, somehow they’re getting paid

I’m counting my blessings, and putting my faith in you.

It’s a beautiful life with you here beside me

I know I can count on you to guide me

And that today, no matter what happens, the sun’s gonna shine

It’s a beautiful life, the world is still turning

I look in your eyes and the fire’s still burning

As long as we’re close, I know everything’s gonna be alright

It’s a beautiful life

We don’t need a house, this apartment is fine

I can sell my car, baby I don’t mind

We’ll weather this storm, do what we gotta do

Ooh, everything I need, is inside these walls

As long as we’re together, I have it all

I can wake up every morning with this point of view

It’s a beautiful life with you here beside me

I know I can count on you to guide me

And that today, no matter what happens, the sun’s gonna shine

It’s a beautiful life, the world is still turning

I look in your eyes and the fire’s still burning

As long as we’re close, I know everything’s gonna be alright

It’s a beautiful life

Oh, It’s a beautiful life
