Hard Times in a Beautiful Place Songtext
von Steve Young

I see blue seas
Crashing on yellow sand
I see your eyes
Hide behind trembling hands
Everybody works hard
Hoping for a better life
Everybody works hard
Just to try and get it right

I see hard times, in this beautiful place
I see cracks in the walls, I see empty streets
People come and go, with a smile on their face
They don′t see the hard times
In this beautiful place


You were my first love
Probably be my last
When the sun light
Shimmers on the wet grass
Knowing that you meant well
Helps to take away the pain
Knowing that you meant well
Blows away the summer rain

I see hard times, in this beautiful place
I see cracks in the walls, on the tired parade
People come and go, with a smile on their face
They don't see the hard times
In this beautiful place

For those I left behind
I feel no disgrace
I never turned my back
And I don′t love you less
Just needed a new start
See a new face
Love a new heart
Hold a new embrace


They'll be no more hard times, in this beautiful place
No more cracks in the walls, on the streets from where I came
People still come and go, with a smile on their face
They'll never see the hard times
They′ll never see the hard times
In this beautiful place
(In this beautiful place)
In this beautiful place
