Of what value is life's beauty
if you never look beyond the eyes
when love's mixed with the fragrance
our hearts are quick to recognize
That beauty's more than a rose
that begins to wither in a day
It's the beauty we seldom notice
that's slow to fade away
Of what value is life's beauty
when we never let it show
if it's fragrance is imprisoned
if it's buds are tightly closed
The most beautiful things in life
are not mountains, flowers, skies
They're the things we overlook
as we hurry by
Within each heart seek it's beauty
and with love take a measure
for it's not outside, but within the heart
that you'll find life's greatest treasure.
