Nilsson, Harry - The Most Beautiful World In The World Lyrics






You come to the end
And the light there is dimmer
And chances are slimmer
Of findin' your way
You find that you stay out
Of trouble and danger
'Cause everything's stranger
Than it used to be

You're a scary old place out there, world
But I couldn't be happy without you
And I swear all my thoughts are about you
The most beautiful world in the world

Well the light can be bright there
And everything's right there
The end of the night there might be a big band
Or a heavenly choir
Or it might be the fire
But no matter what happens
I bet it's OK

You're a scary old place out there, world
But I couldn't be happy without you
And I swear all my thoughts are about you
The most beautiful world in the world

Your mountains when you're mad
Your rivers when you're sad
And those deep blue seas
I love you for your snow
Your deserts down below
I love the way you wear your trees

The most beautiful world in the world
And though there are times when I doubt you
I just couldn't stay here without you
So when you get older
And, over your shoulder
You look back to see if it's real
Tell her she's beautiful
Roll the world over
And give her a kiss and a feel
So long, folks!
Goodbye, Harry.
See you next album, Richard.
GOODBYE!

Nilsson, Harry The Most Beautiful World In The World Comments
  1. p.... t....

    you really were the best . harry .

  2. S.... A....

    Nilsson was a genius and wildman. His album The Point helped me get through the rough spots in childhood. Cheers, Harry!

  3. E.... F....

    Ya just gotta love this guy.  Who else could incorporate a gargle and a spit into his song, and make it sound like it should be there?

  4. H.... T....

    The master of bittersweet music. Who else can make you laugh and cry in the same song? I miss him so badly.

  5. t.... r....

    he made more albums.

  6. D.... M....

    I'm glad I wound up looking into this eccentric artist.

    YouTube just started shoving him in my face one day.

    It's a little weird but also telling that (according to the Internet) a song he wrote while listening to a telephone busy signal seems to be his most recognizable work.
    "One" is such a depressing song. It's conception is funny and speaks to how creative Harry was... but it's so sad.

    I definitely like these upbeat songs sooooooooo much more.

    I look forward to discovering more of his belated and underappreciated genius.

  7. R.... L....

    Harry Nilsson wasn't just a singer/musician, he was a pure creative artist. Another brilliant creation from a true genius. I wish he was still with us.

  8. W.... J....

    The most beautiful world in the world.  Only Nilsson could come up with this!

  9. R.... M....

    Actually the "See ya next album Richard (Ritchie) is Richard Perry who produced...

  10. 7.... ....

    So Long Harry - ( Bummer ,...We won't see ya next album ) ,....

  11. e.... ....

    True genius.

  12. A.... S....

    Genius - Missed greatly.....

  13. m.... ....

     I like to gargle and spit along with the song.  

  14. s.... ....

    I never tire of Nilsson, ever.

  15. S.... ....

    I love the way he addresses himself during this album and at the end he says "Goodbye Harry" Kind of gives an understanding to the whole concept of this album. Pure genius !

    S.... ....

    It sounds like Ringo saying "Goodbye Harry".

  16. t.... ....

    love him soo much and even more cuse he was a little swedish :D

  17. R.... B....

    Thank you Harry. Your art has meant a lot to me for a long time.

  18. R.... W....

    Harry Nilsson was one of the great artists. I wish I could have known him.

  19. D.... ....

    I think it was good scotch. Me too some...

  20. M.... M....

    Thanks Harry.......you were and always will be THE MAN......hands down

  21. K.... R....

    I love Harry Nilsson. Everything he did makes me happy. Only the good die young.

  22. G.... ....

    No matter what happens, I bet it's OK--

  23. s.... ....

    Damn good singer too.

    s.... ....

    He was a tenor with a 3 1/2 octave range! He was absolutely one of the very best singer/songwriters. When The Beatles were asked in a presser who their fave artist and group were, both John and Paul said Nilsson.

  24. O.... 8....

    the second half of this breaks my heart every time

    O.... 8....

    Real tears and belly laughs in one great song!

  25. m.... ....

    @Wattamattau No it's his producer Richard Perry, however he and the Beatle Boys were bigtime besties...so yer good.

  26. d.... ....

    Ringo was in the movie also. Hilarious!

  27. P.... J....

    The "Ritchie" at the end is Richard Starkey (aka Ringo Starr).

  28. P.... M....

    I've enjoyed this song and the "Son of Schmilsson" album for decades. Thanks for posting, and don't forget to give her a kiss and a feel.

  29. a.... ....

    this whole album is proof of true musical genuis ...

  30. B.... H....

    Harry was a brilliant artist. RIP

  31. C.... ....

    One of my favorite Harry songs. It's funny, beautiful, happy, sad...and I could listen to it over and over again.

  32. T.... S....

    thanks for posting this song. a little known gem and great example of Harry's humor.
