A Thousand Beautiful Things Lyrics


Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(A thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(A thousand beautiful things)So light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyesI thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat, the eyes to see again
(A thousand beautiful things)
And all the things that's been and done
The battle's won, the good and bad in everyone
(This is mine to remember)So here I go again
(Here I go)
Singin' by your window
(Singin')

Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find
(Pickin' up, pickin' up)
(Pickin' up, pickin' up)The world was meant for you and me
To figure out our destiny
Whao remember
To live, to die, to breathe, to sleep
To try to make your life completeSo light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyesThat is everything I have to say
That is everything I have to say
That is everything I have to say
That is everything I have to say

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Annie Lennox is an Oscar, Brit and Grammy award-winning pop musician and vocalist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

After three years as lead singer of The Tourists, Lennox achieved her most notable fame as the alto, soul-tinged lead singer of the 1980s rock duo Eurythmics with British musician Dave Stewart. Early in the Eurythmics' career, she was known for her androgyny, wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis. Journalists often referred to her as "the white Grace Jones".

Her 1992 album Diva won critical praise and sold well, but her profile decreased for a period due to her desire to raise her two children outside of the media's glare, although she continued to be a major figure in popular music. Medusa - an album of covers in which Lennox tackled songs by everyone from Bob Marley to The Clash - was released three years after Diva, and also sold well. In 1997 she re-recorded the Eurythmics track "Angel" for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album. In 1998 - following the death of a mutual friend (former The Tourists leader singer/songwriter Peet Coombes) - she re-established contact with Dave Stewart and by 1999, Eurythmics had reformed for the album Peace. In 2003 she released her third solo album, Bare.

In 2003, Lennox was chosen to record "Into the West" for the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. This song won an Academy Award for Best Song in 2003.

In October 2007, Annie released her fourth solo album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.
