The sun rises up over the Kentucky hills
The horses in the pasture are slowly strolling around
But today is different
Today is the Kentucky Derby

The quietness of the morning will soon turn to excitement
The pageantry will unfold; the hats, the costumes
The mint juleps and the red roses
The sounding of the trumpets
And the singing of My Old Kentucky Home

Many know nothing about horse racing
The Kentucky Derby horses; they can maybe name a few
We’re proud people in Kentucky; the Kentucky Derby is ours
Come on down to Louisville it’s the Run for the Roses
With open arms we will welcome you

I close my eyes and drift away
I see sunshine and a blue sky a beautiful day
In my world I have a smile on my face
I see love and children at play

Would you like to join me and drift away
Come along and find your happy place
Close your eyes and drift away
When you open them everything will be ok

Close your eyes and drift away
Together we can find our happy place

I'm going to capture the Christmas Spirit in a bottle
And keep it for a year
When I find someone who is down on their luck
I will pour them a cup
Remind them that the Savior is always there

The moon is smiling at the stars tonight
The stars are filling up the sky
Oh what a beautiful, a beautiful night
Oh what a beautiful, a beautiful life

The moon is full in the sky tonight
The moonbeams are dancing on the water, everything is just right
Oh what a beautiful, a beautiful night
Oh what a beautiful, a beautiful life

You eyes are sparkling like the stars in the sky
My heart is as full as the moon tonight
Oh what a beautiful, a beautiful night
Oh what a beautiful, a beautiful life

Like wet sand you are going to fade away
The next best thing is riding on the next wave
Enjoy life and capture the day
Live in the moment, your days are numbered
Don't let them slip away

The sun is shining, the sky is blue
The leaves are changing, what a beautiful view
Open your eyes these days are so few
Live in the moment, your days are numbered
Don't let them slip away

People enter your life for only a little while
Friends fade like the shadows on a sun dial
The precious times become memory files
Live in the moment, your days are numbered
Don't let them slip away

All I want to do is write a beautiful song
All I want to do is write about you
Tell the world how I feel
In my heart this is real

All I want to do is write a beautiful song
All I want to do is write about you
You are a sun shining day with the sky all blue
You are the stars, the light on the water, from the moon

All I want to do is write a beautiful song
All I want to do is write about you
The look in your eyes
The softness of your lips
When I hold you in my arms, I know this is it

All I want to do is write a beautiful song
All I want to do is write about you
You in a beautiful dress
A pendant around your neck
A ring on your finger
With you I could forever linger

All I want to do is write a beautiful song
All I want to do is write about you

Life goes on
You had a spat with your friend
You feel like they sinned
Do not judge, be quick to forgive
Life goes on

Someone broke your heart
They ripped it apart
Someone else is out there and
you are the one they are looking for
Life goes on

You had a rough day
Don't be too proud to pray
The sun will rise another day
Life goes on
Like a beautiful song
