Lyrics for Song: Beautiful
Lyrics for Album: The Forgotten Arm [2005]
You pulled up and parked your El Dorado
We said "hi" and kissed with some bravado
I got out my camera and was laughing
Happy it was you I'm photographing
And we drove to the ferry
Like the cat and canary
I said, "Baby, it's scary
When it's so beautiful
Why does it hurt me
To feel so much tenderness?
Beautiful
You little wonder, you"
Maybe then I held your hand and kissed you
I know once I just hauled off and hit you
'Cause I can't even stand it
'Cause I don't want to end it
To be perfectly candid –
Baby, you're beautiful
Sometimes it hurts me
To feel so much tenderness
Beautiful
Wish you could see it, too
And all I have to do today
Is make you happy
The only thing you have to say
Is, "It's all lovely, baby"
Late that night, we checked into the Bellevue
Held you close, but, baby – couldn't tell you
And we stayed in our Calvins
And we swore we'd be best friends
And I looked through the zoom lens
And thought you were beautiful
Sometimes it hurts me
To feel so much tenderness
Beautiful
Baby, I'm dazzled
By the view
Beautiful
You don't need to tell me
I'm completely powerless
Beautiful
I wish you could see it, too
I wish you could see it, too
I wish you could see it, too
Baby, how I see you
'Cause that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
Like, way more real than real
The world inside the glass
That struggles to conceal
The wreckage on the overpass
And I cannot get my head
I cannot get my head
I cannot get my head around it, baby
'Cause that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
No, that's just not the way
You make me feel
