Lyrics

I've traveled wide, I've traveled far,
I've traveled everywhere but to the distant stars.
I've searched for joy, I've searched for love,
I've searched for beauty in the lands I've seen and in the skies above.

I've been to California, hiked the high Sierras.
I've known the beauty of an autumn in Vermont.
I've watched the flowers bloom atop an alpine meadow.
I've seen the beauty of a sunset on a distant mountain top.

Chorus:
I've learned that beauty's in the eyes of the beholder.
That understanding sometimes takes awhile.
But the beauty that I cherish most has been here all the while
For there's nothing like the beauty of your smile.

The distant hills still call my name,
And I'll still travel there 'cause nature's in my veins.
And yet I know, yet I know it's all so clear
I needn't travel anywhere 'cause there's happiness right here.

I've felt the power and the glory of the ocean.
I've known the grandeur of the valley desert floor.
I've seen the sparkle of the icy winter landscape.
I've known the beauty of a flower yet I've always searched for more.

Chorus:
I've learned that beauty's in the eyes of the beholder.
That understanding sometimes takes awhile.
But the beauty that I cherish most has been here all the while
For there's nothing like the beauty of your smile.
