Wonderfully arrayed on a bright Autumn day

The leaves set the trees ablaze

I'm sitting here beneath

This decaying canopy

Sunlight sitting through the shade

It won't be long 

Until they're gone away

That's the price we pay



CHORUS: 

In this beautiful broken world

We laugh and then we cry

There's a wonderful pain and joy

In death and in life yeah, yeah 

(Yeah this is life)

Oh, we are living in this beautiful broken world

Yeah, yeah, yeah...



God bless the day

That little Suzy came 

Born on a morning in May

And no one knows why time hurries by

And youth makes room for age

I cherish those years

That she was here with us

We shared life and love



BRIDGE:

Would the day still be as sweet

If it had no end

If you never knew an enemy

Oh, could you understand

The worth of a friend
