LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL ("La Vitaè Bella") - Z. Randall Stroope

Z. Randall Stroope, composer/lyricist; SATB/PIANO; Recorded by THE NEW AMERICAN VOICES; Santa Barbara Music Publ.#1758. One can focus their life on looking ahead at what's next, and miss the beauty of the present. What you do now determines what you will do tomorrow. This song portrays a life as a child of ten, that same life at twenty-one years of age, and then that person looking back on their career. TEXT: One idle July afternoon when I was one and ten, and barefoot free, Lost in cloudless days, carefree innocence, With waking curiosity, I climb' up in the apply tree And look'd out and dream'd of life beyond this place. La vitaè bella, My credo, my stay. La vitaè bella, My shelter alway. One hurried July afternoon when I was one and twenty, running free, Lost in all that was, lost in all that is, Impatient to grow roots and wings, I walk'd right past the apple tree And look'd out and left all memories behind. (refrain) One lazy July afternoon when I was one and sixty, maybe more, Lost in hollow dreams and vain delusion, Now years have pass'd, no longer can I climb into the apple tree I look'd out and realized that life had been there all the time.
