Is This Nice?
Is this nice?
Do you like it?
(oooh)
Would you like
Me to sing you this song?

It begins
With a question
(oooh)
I just asked one
& now I’ll carry on

Somedays you’re gonna feel
There’ll never again be flowers
Learning to count all the way up to love

Is this real?
Do I mean it?
You know that I do
I wanna be here
Really near
I wanna really be here with you!

Waking up
At the bottom
Of the morning
With an ocean
Soaring over you
Love’s who you’re thinking of
When you see the moon above you
And it’s the middle of the day

What will the baby bee
Someday soon choose for its flower
Now that mommy’s gone away

The grass grows and grows
The wind blows and blows
My beautiful boy
My beautiful boy

Better to understand
Than to be understood
This is quite good
Yes this is quite good

Eyes floating above
What will soon be all cloud
Tear in your eye
This is allowed

But you cannot give up
Music yet to be made
Must be you who’s the bridge
Must be you who’s the bridge
My beautiful boy
My beautiful boy
