I imagined this song sung by Bevins.

lyrics

Life’s Beauty Won
(Bevin’s Lament)
(©2019 Anders/O’Bitz)

Such good friends
We both were not yet men
The world’s beauty
Shone through him
Our chance at love
Life's beauty won
Squandered then
Lost my friend

Is it wrong
To love someone
To love so strong
How can love
Ever be wrong
I was young
Too young to trust
Life’s beauty won
Lost my trust
Lost my love

My love for him
Meant losing love from them
A parent’s love
Too much in play
My trust in life
Was squandered then
All beauty lost
Nothing gained

Is it wrong
To love someone
To love so strong
How can love
Ever be wrong
I was young
Too young to trust
Life’s beauty won
Lost my trust
Lost my love

Ooh, ooh, Oh
Ooh ooh Oh
Ooh Oh, Oh Oh

Is it wrong
To love someone
To love so strong
How can love
Ever be wrong
I was young
Too young to trust
Life’s beauty won
Lost my trust
Lost my love
I lost my trust
I lost my love
Life's beauty's gone
Oh …
