A Beautiful Life

A Beautiful Life - The Stanley Brothers

Written by：William Lee Golden

Each day I'll do

Each day I'll do a golden deed

A golden deed

By helping those

By helping those who are in need

Who are in need

My life on earth

My life on earth is but a span

Is but a span

And so I'll do

And so I'll do the best I can

Life's even sun

Life's even sun is sinking low is sinking low

A few more days

A few more days and I must go and I must go

To meet the deeds

To meet the deeds that I have done that I have done

Where there will be

Where there will be no setting sun

To be a child

To be a child of God each day of God each day

My light must shine

My light must shine along the way along the way

I'll sing his praise

I'll sing his praise while ages roll while ages roll

And strive to help

And strive to help some troubled soul

Life's even sun

Life's even sun is sinking low is sinking low

A few more days

A few more days and I must go and I must go

To meet the deeds

To meet the deeds that I have done that I have done

Where there will be

Where there will be no setting sun

The only life

The only life that will endure that will endure

Is one that's good

Is one that's good and kind and pure and kind and pure

And so for God

And so for God I'll take my stand

I'll take my stand

Each day I'll lend

Each day I'll lend a helping hand

Life's even sun

Life's even sun is sinking low is sinking low

A few more days

A few more days and I must go and I must go

To meet the deeds

To meet the deeds that I have done that I have done

Where there will be

Where there will be no setting sun

I'll help someone

I'll help someone in time of need in time of need

And journey on

And journey on with rapid speed with rapid speed

I'll help the sick

I'll help the sick and poor and weak

And poor and weak

And words of kindness

And words of kindness to them speak

Life's even sun

Life's even sun is sinking low is sinking low

A few more days

A few more days and I must go and I must go

To meet the deeds

To meet the deeds that I have done that I have done

Where there will be

Where there will be no setting sun

While going down

While going down life's weary road life's weary road

I'll try to lift

I'll try to lift some travler's load some travler's load

I'll try to turn

I'll try to turn the night to day the night to day

Make flowers bloom

Make flowers bloom along the way

Life's even sun

Life's even sun is sinking low is sinking low

A few more days

A few more days and I must go and I must go

To meet the deeds

To meet the deeds that I have done that I have done

Where there will be

Where there will be no setting sun
