It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful day
And an usual time is coming away
We're on adventure hippy poo-ey
Talking in the balloon
I'm sailing with you
On top of the world
We've got nothing to do
There's a silvery lining
And the sun is shining
Hold on to the good things darling
Hold on to the silver lining
Hold on to the beautiful melodies
And we don't worry behind us
A little of this, a little of that
The recipe calls for ahead don't look back
With you and me anything is possible
Friends are here to remind us
It's all about friends, it's all about love
And having someone that know you can trust
We're in this together, it's all about us
I'm feeling so good, I'm feeling no pain
I'm washing my trouble, life doesn' change
Life's unfolding, gotta keep on going
Hold on to the good things darling
Hold on to the silver lining
Hold on to the beautiful melodies
And we don't worry behind us
Hold on to the good things
Hold on to the good things
Off we go
Hold on to the good things darling
Hold on to the silver lining
Hold on to the beautiful melodies
And we don't worry behind us
You can look to the east, you can look to the west
You can look to someone who loves you the best
So good to be a part of family
Friends are here to remind us
Hold on to the good...
