Beautiful

If I could be other than I am
I'd take your photograph, take your hand
Follow you in my mind's eye
See your face in the morning sky
Oh, you're beautiful
And if I could be other than I am
I'd take you all through this great dark land
Wander from the well-worn path
Find each other in the aftermath
Oh, you're beautiful
And I don't know why, and I never will
But I can't be other than I am
If took you in my arms tonight
It would be all wrong and that's alright
I know a place you'd never been
Oh, full of things that you've never seen and
Oh, you're beautiful
And if I took you in my arms tonight
It would be all wrong but that's alright, alright
Hide from the hailstorm
I can't keep my word, but I can keep you warm
Oh, you're beautiful
But if I never have then I never will
I can't take you in my arms tonight

And if you were anybody else
You'd say "All's well that ends"
And I'd say
"Well I never knew you but I wish that I had
And if I ever do I would be so glad
Because oh, you're beautiful"
Oh, you're beautiful
Yeah, you know you're beautiful
