Everything's Beautiful
Parton Dolly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look out over a green field of clover
Or watch the sun set at the end of the day
I get kind of moody when I see such beauty
And everything's beautiful in its own way

When I see a fountain flow from a mountain
Or see April showers bring flowers to May
I can't help but ponder, life is such a wonder
And everything's beautiful in its own way

Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way

When I see the clouds form a black summer windstorm
That uproots the harvest and hurls it away
In the midst of such anger, destruction and danger
The storm's even beautiful in its own way

When I see leaves drop off from the treetop
Or see the snow fall on a cold winter's day
My thoughts seem to wander into the blue yonder
God made all things beautiful in their own way

Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way




In its own way
In its own way

I'm not a big Country Western fan, but I could listen to Dolly and Willie (together or separately) all day long. Two classic, crossover singers (and songwriters).

In the 1980's I used to play classical guitar at the Chief's restaurant/bar at Rainbow Marina in Pearl Harbor on Friday and Saturday nights. When I took a break I would go into the bar, get a beer and put some quarters into the juke box and play this song - priceless.
