Verse 1:

His name was Dave I met him on the wrap around porch of an Alabama bar

He never looked me in the eyes even though we talked for hours and hours

And I felt alone for him the years had not been good

And I wanted to hold him in my arms and say

Everything is going to be fine fine fine

He grew up Catholic but had wandered away from God

He'd been hurt again and again

He reminded me of my father- maybe that's why I was drawn to him

And we sang "Life is Strange and Life is Good" as Dave played his

Home made guitar

And I wanted to hold him in my arms and say

Everything is going to be fine fine fine

Chorus:

He's beautiful isn't he?

Holding on to hope when the sun comes in the morning

Holding on to hope despite everything

He's beautiful isn't he?

Holding on to hope when the sun comes in the morning

Holding on to hope despite everything

Holding on to hope

Verse2:

He said "Life is a strange thing, trying to figure out who we are.

There are times when I feel alone but a few people  love me- that's a start.

And you, you're a lot like me- weak and strong at the same time

And I just want to hold you in my arms and say

Everything is going to be fine fine fine

Chorus 2:

We are beautiful aren't we?

Holding on to hope when the sun comes in the morning

Holding on to hope despite everything

We are beautiful aren't we?

Holding on to hope when the sun comes in the morning

Holding on to hope despite everything

Holding on to hope
