 Here's my musical hint for today after so many beautiful things we have seen and done this summer:  Beautiful things by Benson Boone. 

Listen and try to fill in the gaps... 

For a while there, it was rough
But _ _ _ _ _ _, I've been doing  _ _ _ _ _ _
Than the last four cold _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I recall

And I see my _ _ _ _ _ _ every month
I found a _ _ _ _  my parents love
She'll come and stay the _ _ _ _ _
And I think I might have it all

And I _ _ _ _ _  God every day
For the girl He sent my _ _ _
But I know the things He _ _ _ _ _  me
He can  _ _ _ _    _ _ _ _

And I hold you every night
And that's a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I wanna get used to  (Finish the sentence: I want to get used to (hold) ___ you)
But there's no man as terrified
As the man who stands to _ _ _ _  you

Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Mm

Please stay
I _ _ _ _  you, I _ _ _ _  you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

...

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 _ _ _ _ _ _
I've got _ _ _ _ _  and I've got love
But I'm up at night _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I just might lose it all

....

Then sing along with this version with the lyrics and check!
