Beautiful Things - Benson Boone - DF Malan High School Choir | Boston ChoirFest 2024

Boston ChoirFest 2024 - in partnership with the Cape Town Camerata

“Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone
Arranged by Jade Paige
Performed by the DF Malan High School Choir
Boston ChoirFest 2024
Conducted by Jade Paige

"Beautiful Things" is a "ballad about the meaning of life", where Boone reflects on gratitude for life, love and the "volatility of happiness".

The song adds a "more powerful" layer to the "softness" he exhibited with previous singles like "In the Stars", helping him bring out "all of his character" from inside and performing different "vocal turns". Consisting of "soulful verses" paired with a "powerful chorus", Boone showcases "raw, emotive vocals". It is in the key of B-flat major. - Wikipedia

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 feeling 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 finding 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
