[Verse 1]
You can do what you want, just seize the day
What you're doin' tomorrow's gonna come your way
Don't you ever consider givin' up
You will find, oh oh

[Chorus]
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
I just wanna be here beside you
(And stay until the break of dawn)

[Verse 2]
Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There's so many things there that's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom, a laughing child
Such a dream, whoa-oh

[Hook]
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
I just wanna be here beside you
(Oh, yeah, alright!)
I just wanna be here beside you
(And stay until the break of dawn)

[Verse 3]
You're looking for somewhere to belong
You're standing all alone
For someone to guide you on your way
Now and forever

[Hook]
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
It's a beautiful life, oh, oh-oh-oh
I just wanna be anybody
We're living in different ways

[Chorus]
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you to the place
I've never been before, oh yeah
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And fly away with you tonight

Yeah, alright!
It's a beautiful life
Yeah, alright!
It's a beautiful life

It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
Oh, yeah, alright!
It's a beautiful life
Oh, yeah, alright!
It's a beautiful life
Oh, yeah, alright!
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life!

Ace of Base

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
