Something Beautiful Remains
Tina Turner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains

We're living in a world of stars and dust
Between heaven and all that surrounds us
We're travelers here, spirits passing through
And the love we give, is all that will endure
Hey now, what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like a rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains

Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains

Now the darkness falls
The sun is going down
One by one, the stars are coming out
Tide comes in, washes footprints from the sand
As one day ends, a new day must begin
Hey now, though we are apart
You're forever in my dreams
Hey now, love is lost again
What you gonna do about it?
What you gonna say?
Something beautiful remains

Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
(Something) something beautiful remains

And you wonder sometimes how you carry on
When you've lost the love the you knew
But it's alright, alright
To your own heart be true

Tears will leave no stains
Time will ease the pain
For every life that fades
(Something) something beautiful remains

Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life, for every life that fades)
Something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)

Tears will leave no stains (something beautiful)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)




For every life that fades (every life that fades)
Something beautiful remains (something beautiful)
