Story Behind The Song
Carys asked me to write the Father /Daughter dance song for her Wedding and although I can never do justice or put into words how proud and honored I am to be the father of such a wonderful Daughter...I thought the song turned out quite well, despite that :-)

Lyrics
Beautiful Life
Graeme Hall, © 2016
VERSE 1
Seems like it only took a moment
For this day to arrive
And for this woman to emerge from
Blonde Pig tails and blue eyes
But in that moment there was a life time
From childhood to wife
There's only one thing I would wish for you
Have a beautiful life
Cause a father's love runs deep
And a mother's it's for keeps
But the true love between a woman and a man
Is so tender and sweet
And though I wanna hold on - I'm gonna let go
Cause the moment is right
I just have one last stipulation
Have a beautiful life!
VERSE 2
Now you're a woman with a good man
Heading out into the world
But to this man you have to understand
You're still my little girl
Live your own lives, compromise
Relax and have some fun
Know that near or far, how proud we are
Of the couple you've become
May your vows forever be
And when you love then love for keeps
Cause the true hearts never break apart
They Love unconditionally
Love through the highs and lows
The ebbs and flows
The darkness and light
And when the times right
May you be blessed by
The miracle of life
SOLO
BRIDGE
Cause nothing lasts forever
And in a moment things can change
So love and cherish those around you
As we all grow and age
OUTRO
Gonna hold on to these memories
For the rest of my life
Thoughts of good friends and family
Dancing through the night.
& I have no doubt many years from now
On some warm balmy night
There'll be children
Celebrating a beautiful life
