Dolly Parton & Willie Nelson - Everything's Beautiful (In It's Own Way)

From December 1984. This is not the Ray Stevens song, but a Parton composition from the mid-sixties that had remained unreleased for many years. Dolly wrote it even before she moved to Nashville, recorded it around 1967, but it did not make onto an album before she left Monument. Was released as a single and reached #7 on the Country chart. It bubbled under the Hot 100 at a peak of #102.

Songwriter: Dolly Parton

When I look out over a green field of clover
Or watch the sun set at the end of the day
I get kind of moody when I see such beauty
And everything's beautiful in its own way

When I see a fountain flow from a mountain
Or see April showers bring flowers to May
I can't help but ponder; life is such a wonder
And everything's beautiful in its own way

Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way

When I see the clouds form a black summer windstorm
That uproots the harvest and hurls it away
In the midst of such anger, destruction and danger
The storm's even beautiful in its own way

When I see leaves drop off from the treetop
Or see the snow fall on a cold winter's day
My thoughts seem to wander into the blue yonder
God made all things beautiful in their own way

Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way, in its own way, in its own way
