Taking a few years away from the music scene to work on new material, Jennifer released her second studio album, Positively Somewhere, in September 2001. This album featured a more mature pop-rock sound, but went virtually unnoticed in the U.S. after its release due to lack of promotion on her label's part. It wasn't until its European and Asian release in the summer of 2002 that it achieved some success, thanks to the modest hit "Stranded", a cover of the Plumb song. Following the release of this album, Paige parted ways with her label, Edel. As a result, her former label released a compilation record in 2003 called Flowers - The Hits Collection, which comprised all of Paige's singles alongside a selection of other material lifted from her first two albums.
It wasn't until April 2008 that Jennifer Paige released her follow-up album, Best Kept Secret. Released in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in 2008 through her new label GLOR Music Production GmbH, it included the singles "Wasted", "Underestimated", and the Nick Carter collaboration "Beautiful Lie".
A few years later, Paige collaborated with Coury Palermo for a couple of EPs but returned to her solo ventures for her first Christmas album, Holiday. Released in November 2012, it featured original seasonal material along with reworkings of old classics.
Following a successful kickstarter campaign, Paige released her fifth studio album in March 2017. Originally called Daydreamer, it was eventually renamed Starflower, and includes the single "The Devil's in the Details".
"Beautiful"
Jennifer Paige Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To feel your heart beat just one more time
I'm reaching back, trying to touch the moment
Each precious minute that you were mine
How do you prepare, when you love someone this way,
To let them go a little more each day?
The stars we put in place
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we've lost
The hurting at the end
I go there again,
Cause it was beautiful.
It was beautiful.
Some days missing you is overwhelming
When it hits me you're not coming back
And in my darkest hours, I have wondered
Was it worth it for the time we had?
My thoughts get kinda scattered, but one thing I know is true
I bless the day that I found you
The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we've lost
The hurting at the end
I go there again,
Cause it was beautiful.
It was beautiful.
The rules we stepped aside
The fear that we defied
The thrill of the ride
The fire in our hearts that burned
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we've lost
The hurting at the end
I go there again,
Cause it was beautiful.
So beautiful.
It was beautiful.

I'm looking for a way to feel you hold me
I wish I could feel your embrace again
To feel your heart beat just one more time
I long to feel your love again
I'm reaching back, trying to touch the moment
I'm reminiscing about the amazing past we had
Each precious minute that you were mine
Every moment with you was invaluable
How do you prepare, when you love someone this way,
It's difficult to let go when you love someone so deeply
To let them go a little more each day?
Gradually accepting the reality of losing them every day is hard
The stars we put in place
The plans and goals we had together
The dreams we didn't waste
We pursued our dreams and aspirations together
The sorrows we embraced
We faced life's hardships hand in hand

We had the world at our fingertips
The oceans that we crossed
We went through a lot of obstacles together
The innocence we've lost
We've grown and learned a lot from our experiences

The pain of losing each other
I go there again,
I often revisit the past memories
Cause it was beautiful.
Despite the pain, our love was beautiful
Some days missing you is overwhelming
Some days it's tough to deal with the grief of losing you
When it hits me you're not coming back
Realizing that you're gone forever is heart-wrenching
And in my darkest hours, I have wondered
In my lowest moments, I have questioned the worthiness of our time together
Was it worth it for the time we had?
Is the pain of losing you worth all the good memories?
My thoughts get kinda scattered, but one thing I know is true
I may have mixed emotions, but one thing I know for sure
I bless the day that I found you
I am grateful for the day you came into my life
The rules we stepped aside
We broke the rules and lived boldly
The fear that we defied
We faced our fears and took on challenges together
The thrill of the ride
The excitement and adventure of being together
The fire in our hearts that burned
The passion and intensity of our love
So beautiful.
Our love was beautiful
It was beautiful.
Our love was beautiful

I first heard this song in 1994, when the movie was being filmed. Very few people know this movie was delayed for almost 5-6 years. Nice memories from 1994

Beautiful film. It was underappreciated when it was released but it has finally found an audience. This song being connected to the movie probably helped. Great lyrics and melody, this song.
