Is This Nice? Lyrics

Is this nice? Do you like it?
Ooh, would you like
Me to sing you this song?

It begins with a question
Ooh, I just asked one
And now I carry on

Some days you're gonna feel
There'll never again be flowers
Learning to count all the way up to love

Is this real? Do I mean it?
You know that I do
I wanna be here, really near
I wanna really be here with you

Waking up at the bottom
Of the morning
With an ocean
Soaring over you

Love's who you're thinking of
When you see the moon above you
And it's the middle of the day

What will the baby bee
Someday soon choose for its flower
Now that mommy's gone away

The grass grows and grows
The wind blows and blows
My beautiful boy
My beautiful boy

Better to understand
Than to be understood
This is quite good
This is quite good

Eyes floating above
What will soon be all cloud
Tear in your eye
Yes, this is allowed

But you cannot give up
Music yet to be made
Must be you who's the bridge
Must be you who's the bridge

My beautiful boy
My beautiful boy
My beautiful boy
My beautiful boy
