You can't judge the love by the lover   The sky by its thunder   The road with no sign   You can't make the snow fall in summer   Or make him not want her   And not leave you behind   Maybe he'll stay in touch years down the road   And hope that he's still on your mind      The sun may come up and go down again   I'll still swear it's a beautiful life      Maybe we'll meet up in Denver   Talk about weather, talk of old times   I know every word that we said was what we both meant   Well we meant it at the time   Promise me that you'll be standing up straight   Chasing rivers and shadows and time      The sun may come up and go down again   I'll still swear it's a beautiful life      Time flies   Time cries   Time flies   Time cries      So swim to the end of the river   Until there's no shiver left in your spine   Live like there won't be tomorrow   See through your sorrow   See through your own eyes   Try to remember these days down the road   And try to remember this time      The sun may come up and go down again   I'll still swear it's a beautiful life      The sun may come up   The sun may go down   The sun may come up   The sun may go down   The sun may come up   The sun may go down   I'll still swear it's a beautiful life
