A Beautiful Life
Christopher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Baby, I'm pregnant", she said
And I saw my whole life
Flash before my eyes
So much for planning ahead
We gon' be alright
There won't be a right time
Oh, I said, "I am way too young"
I'm just a kid, I can't raise one

It feels like my life is over
Feels like my future's crushed
And I'm gonna miss the times when
It was just the two of us
I don't ever want to let go
Of everything that I love
It sure feels like dying
Saying goodbye
To my beautiful life

"Daddy, I can't sleep", she said
Can you leave the light on?
And please sing me my song
And I can't help but think to myself
Those green eyes and brown curls
Turned into my whole world
She's growing up so fast
If only I could make it last

It feels like my life is over
Feels like my future's crushed
'Cause my baby's getting older
Tomorrow she'll be all grown up
I don't ever want to let go
Of everything that I love
I turn off the lights
And say good night
To my beautiful life

Pack the bags and ready to go
We look at each other
She looks like her mother
Off to chase dreams of her own
She cries in the backseat
As we wave at the taxi
Oh, our baby's moving out
Leaving this home an empty house

Feels like my life is over
Feels like my future's crushed
And I'm gonna miss the times when
It was just the three of us
I don't ever want to let go
Of everything that I love
It sure feels like dying
Saying goodbye
To my beautiful life
To my beautiful life

"Baby, I'm pregnant", she said




And I saw my whole life
Flash before my eyes

Overall Meaning

In Christopher's song "A Beautiful Life," the lyrics depict a story of a young man who unexpectedly learns that his partner is pregnant. The revelation catches him off guard and sends his mind racing as he sees his entire life unfold before him. The line, "Flash before my eyes," suggests that in that moment, his future and plans are shattered, forcing him to abandon his previous notions of what his life was going to be like. He acknowledges that there will never be a perfect time for such a life-altering event and expresses his concerns about his youth and inability to responsibly raise a child at his current stage in life.


As time passes, the young man becomes a father and experiences the rapid growth of his child. He cherishes the moments spent with his daughter, feeling a sense of overwhelming love and attachment. However, he also realizes that life moves too quickly, especially when you have someone to care for and watch grow. He wishes he could freeze time and hold onto those precious moments forever. The fear of letting go and losing what he loves becomes pervasive in his thoughts.


Towards the end of the song, the narrative shifts as the daughter grows older and prepares to leave home to pursue her own dreams. The young man, now a father, and his daughter share a bittersweet moment as they say their goodbyes. The lyrics convey a strong sense of emotional attachment, with the father feeling that his life is over and his future crushed as his daughter ventures out into the world. The empty house represents the void left behind after his daughter's departure, symbolizing the impact she had on his life.


Overall, "A Beautiful Life" explores the rollercoaster of emotions experienced by a young man who goes through the joys and struggles of becoming a parent, and the transformative effect it has on his entire perspective of life.


Line by Line Meaning

Baby, I'm pregnant
She revealed that she is expecting a child


And I saw my whole life
In that moment, my entire future flashed before me


Flash before my eyes
I experienced a sudden and intense realization


So much for planning ahead
All my carefully made plans seem irrelevant now


We gon' be alright
We will find a way to make things work


There won't be a right time
There is no perfect timing for such news


Oh, I said, 'I am way too young'
I expressed my feeling that I am not ready for this responsibility


I'm just a kid, I can't raise one
I feel too young and inexperienced to be a parent


It feels like my life is over
I have a sense of overwhelming loss and despair


Feels like my future's crushed
My hopes and dreams have been shattered


And I'm gonna miss the times when
I will long for the moments in the past


It was just the two of us
When it was only me and my partner


I don't ever want to let go
I refuse to give up or move on


Of everything that I love
I cherish all the things that bring me joy


It sure feels like dying
The emotions are so intense, it feels like a metaphorical death


Saying goodbye
Having to part ways


To my beautiful life
To the life I once considered beautiful


Daddy, I can't sleep', she said
My daughter expressed her difficulty in falling asleep


Can you leave the light on?
Can you keep a light on for me?


And please sing me my song
And sing the song that brings me comfort


And I can't help but think to myself
I couldn't help but reflect internally


Those green eyes and brown curls
My child's distinct physical features


Turned into my whole world
They became the center of my universe


She's growing up so fast
My daughter is maturing quickly


If only I could make it last
If only I could make time slow down


Pack the bags and ready to go
Preparing our belongings for departure


We look at each other
We exchange a gaze filled with emotion


She looks like her mother
My child resembles her mother


Off to chase dreams of her own
She is embarking on a journey to pursue her own aspirations


She cries in the backseat
She sheds tears from the rear of the vehicle


As we wave at the taxi
We bid farewell to the taxi with a wave


Oh, our baby's moving out
Our child is leaving this home


Leaving this home an empty house
Our home will feel empty without her presence


And I'm gonna miss the times when
I will reminisce about the moments in the past


It was just the three of us
When it was our small family together


To my beautiful life
To the life I once considered beautiful


To my beautiful life
To the life I once considered beautiful

@@valeriesawden5376 To every soul OUT THERE:
All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155 “Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.”


(Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain).
Mankind is filled with UNSAVED SOULS (WICKED SINNERS).
That`s why there`s a calling to REPENTANCE and to BORN AGAIN:
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Luke 13:3
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
