Hive Open Mic 281 | Beautiful Things

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=zitalovee/ssckkbtl Hello beautiful people of Hive Open Mic. When I cook, I usually keep my phone propped up on my cutlery shelf. I had my YouTube playlist going, listening to random songs on shuffle. I was actually frying up some plantains when this song came on—Beautiful Things by Benson Boone. It wasn’t new to me, like I said in the video; the song is a famous one. It was trending all over YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and the like. For some reason, probably because of the song mixed with the delicious aroma of fried plantain in the air, I was drawn to the melody of the song like never before. It felt like it was my first time listening to it. As though a third eye opened up, and suddenly I could assimilate the lyrics, and they resonated with me. In that moment, I decided I was going to make my own rendition of it. Given the week’s theme being Vacation, I felt it fit perfectly because by merely listening to it, it feels like you are on a temporary vacation. The music transports you into another dimension. Anyways, without further ado, here is my song. Lyrics For a while there, it was rough But lately, I've been doin' better Than the last four cold Decembers I recall And I see my family every month I found a girl my parents love She'll come and stay the night And I think I might have it all And I thank God every day For the girl He sent my way But I know the things He gives me He can take away And I hold you every night And that's a feelin' I wanna get used to But there's no man as terrified As the man who stands to lose you Oh, I hope I don't lose you Mm Please stay I want you, I need you, oh, God Don't take These beautiful things that I've got Please stay I want you, I need you, oh, God Don't take These beautiful things that I've got Oh Ooh Please don't take I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane It's been a while, but I'm findin' my faith If everything's good and it's great Why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone? Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough I've got peace, and I've got love But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all Please stay I want you, I need you, oh, God Don't take These beautiful things that I've got Oh Ooh Please stay I want you, I need you, oh, God I need These beautiful things that I've got Source: Musixmatch
