It's a stranger's smile when I'm feeling all alone
First sip of coffee in the morning as the birds sing their song
It's getting my hair messed up by ocean air
And the sunset setting fire to the sky
Or the very first hello after goodbye
Whenever I'm falling apart
These things remind me life's more beautiful than hard
It's the raindrops tapping a rhythm on the roof
Or the song you need the most, finding its way straight to you
The greeting of a dog, when I've only been ten minutes gone
And my parents' arms, wide open no matter what
Whenever I'm falling apart
These things remind me life's more beautiful than hard
It's inspiration striking, making me feel like flying
Standing on a rooftop looking at the city lights
Making me feel so small and so alive
Red wine in candlelight and
Twenty five lonely years, then finally
Finding the people that are my kind of crazy
Whenever I'm falling apart
These things remind me life's more beautiful than hard
Yeah, this life is still more beautiful than hard
