Backstory:

Will had a list of titles and ideas and "screen door was barely breathing" caught my eye. The song literally came out of that one sentence.                                         

Lyrics:

                                                  
BEAUTIFUL LIFE
(Claire Ulanoff/Will Hopkins)

Shreveport on a summer evening
Screen door is barely breathing
Outside the pavement's steaming after a pounding rain
She's in a rush getting supper ready
Second try at his mom's spaghetti
First time was a bust but he said he loved it anyway
    He honks his horn as he's pulling into the drive
    She's on that porch waiting with a big old smile

	And they're so young, barely starting out
	Learning what life's about
	Writing their story one page at a time
	So in love and so amazed
	At the beautiful life they've made

They can't quit talking all through supper
Catching up with one another
A gentle kiss shows he loves her more than words can say
Later on in their tiny kitchen
They're cutting up and washing dishes
When she feels the baby kickin' it takes her breath away
    She grabs his hand, places it on her side
    Then she laughs out loud, watching his eyes get wide

	(Chorus) 

	They've got a second hand sofa and a brand new bassinet
	There's so much they don't know, but they don't know that yet

	(Chorus)
