Followed her home on an August bank holiday
Sun hanging low from a paper blue sky
I remember the smell of the lavender canopy
Remember the moment our hands intertwined
In her red summer dress as we sat on the balcony
I kissed her cheek then I whispered a lie
She told me my life was the ultimate comedy
Showed me the door then she waved me goodbye
Oh when I was young what I didn't know That right from the start I was playing a part
'Cause life is a beautiful Broadway show
Na na na na yeah
Na na na na na na yeah
An American girl on a train out of Connolly Happened to sit in the seat next to me
Right from the start there was magical chemistry
Suddenly noticed her looking at me
(So I told her her voice was as sweet as a melody
Sparkling eyes were as blue as the sea)
She started to laugh spilt her coffee all over me Then as she left said are you kidding me
Oh when (I was young) what I (didn't know) (oh, oh)
That (right from the start I was playing a part
'Cause life is a beautiful Broadway show)
Oh (was it wrong), oh I (didn't know) (oh, oh)
That (right from the start I was playing a part) (oh oh oh)
('Cause life is a beautiful Broadway show)
(Oh, to be young forever
Would I change a thing
No, not ever)
So I'm sitting alone on the last flight from Kennedy
Thinking of things that I've done in my life
The stuardess smiles and says buckle up safely now Stop myself thinking could you be my wife
Oh when (I was young) (oh when I was young) (oh)
What I (didn't know) (what I didn't know) (oh)
That (right from the start I was playing a part
'Cause life is a beautiful Broadway show)
Oh (was it wrong) (oh was it wrong) (oh) Oh I (didn't know) (oh I didn't know) (oh)
That (right from the start I was playing a part) (oh oh oh)
('Cause life is a beautiful Broadway show)
Na na na na yeah (yeah)
Na na na na na na yeah Na na na na yeah
Na na na na na na yeah
Hey, life is a beautiful (na na na na yeah)
Yeah, life is a beautiful Broadway show (na na na na na na yeah) Life is a beautiful (na na na na yeah)
Yeah, (life is a beautiful Broadway show) (na na na na na na yeah)
