Okay, this may come off as cheesy, and if it does, my profuse apologies, but I think this turned out rather cool. One of my fave songs off SH is "We're Young And Beautiful". While listening in my car today, I started singing it as if it was a duet and made up lyrics to go in between the spaces of the "official" lyrics. They are either repeats of the lyrics or changed to come from a male perspective as if the guy and Carrie were singing to one another. The regular font is Carrie's line, the italicized are the guy's and the bolded lines are when they are singing together. Take a look, try singing it with the added lyrics if you want and tell me what you think. I'd also be interested in which male country singer you think would make a good duet partner for Carrie on this song. My vote is for Toby Keith or Billy Currington.

Here's the lyrics:

While we’re young and beautiful
While we’re young and beautiful
Kiss me like you mean it
I’ll kiss you like I mean it
Treat me like I’m special
Baby, you’re so special
Cover me with sweetness
I’ll cover you with sweetness
Cause the time will come
When we’re not so young and beautiful

While we’re young and beautiful
While we’re young and beautiful
Livin’ free and easy
We’re livin’ free and easy
Here without a worry
Baby, there’s no worries
Dancin’ in our barefeet
We’re dancin’ in our bare feet
Cause when the summer’s done
We might not be so young and beautiful

It’s a crazy ride, and baby you and I
are keepin’ our sweet love alive tonight
While we’re young and beautiful

While we’re young and beautiful
While we’re young and beautiful
We’ll party down on main street
We’ll party down on main street
Wearing next to nothin’
Wearing next to nothin’
Feelin’ every heartbeat
I wanna feel your heartbeat
Having fun
While we’re still young and beautiful

It’s a crazy ride, and baby you and I
are keepin’ our sweet love alive tonight
While we’re young and beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful

It’s a crazy ride, and baby you and I
are keepin’ our sweet love alive tonight
While we’re young and beautiful

Oh, so beautiful

While we're young and beautiful
cover me with sweetness

While we're young and beautiful
Kiss me like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you do

Ohhhh, yeah

So beautiful
Oh, yes you are…
