wonderfully arrayed on a bright autumn day the leaves set the trees ablaze i m sitting here beneath this decaying canopy sunlight sitting through the shade it won t be long until they re gone away that s the price we pay chorus in this beautiful broken world we laugh and then we cry there s a wonderful pain and joy in death and in life yeah yeah oh we are living in this beautiful broken world yeah yeah yeah god bless the day that little suzy came born on a morning in may and no one knows why time hurries by and youth makes room for age i cherish those years that she was here with us we shared life and love bridge would the day still be as sweet if it had no end if you never knew an enemy oh could you understand the worth of a friend
