BEAUTIFUL
If I could make you feel beautiful, even for a little while.
I don’t think you know the lengths I’d go to to make you smile.
It would be so wonderful if you and I could get together sometimes
Jjust because we wanna make love while the sun still shines.
If I could make you feel beautiful, or make your old heart beat brand new.
I’d probably still feel vulnerable by the time I get next to you.
We create the obstacles between the battles and the uphill climbs.
Shedding blood, hate’s just love on the flipside.
Wear my heart right here upon my sleeve. But I die inside every time I gotta watch you leave.
Ya know you make me feel beautiful. I’m at the finish line before you say go.
You make it damned impossible to be indifferent or to take it slow.
But what the world needs most of all can be the hardest thing on earth to find.
And the mushroom clouds, broken vows of the worst kind.
If I could make you feel beautiful or make your old heart beat brand new,
I’d probably still feel vulnerable by the time I get next to I think that you know who.
We create the obstacles between the battles and the uphill climbs.
Shedding blood, hates just love on the flipside.
Wear my heart right here up on my sleeve. But I die inside every time I gotta watch you leave.
Everyone sees the brightly lit beams of my Baby’s star. It would mean that much tome if you could see how beautiful you are. You’re my favorite star. ..star…star.
