Every time he goes she dies
Every time she comes she cries
He was her long bright future
In the middle of a wrong dark road
He loved her but he wasn`t too sure
If he could return the love she showed
When she said my love extends
Beyond the realm of being friends
He kissed her head
And quietly he said
It`s not that you`re not beautiful
you`re just not beautiful to me
She said how beautiful do I have to be
When I look in the mirror you`re the only thing I see
And I have loved you beautifully
Well ten thousand tears passed by
But she never let him see her cry
And he called up down one night
He said let`s get in the car and just drive
He talked a lot about loneliness
But why she didn`t know
And some song about Memphis
Was playing on the radio
She said let`s stop the car and slow dance
Won`t you just give me a chance
He took her hand
And hoped she`d understand
It`s not that you`re not beautiful
you`re just not beautiful to me
She said how beautiful do I have to be
When I look in the mirror you`re the only thing I see
And I have loved you beautifully
Well she`ll burn that bridge
And build a house
And swallow the smoke in her mouth
She`ll feel the burn
And then make the choice
To put the fire in her voice
It`s not that you`re not beautiful
you`re just not beautiful to me
She said how beautiful do I have to be
When I look in the mirror you`re the only thing I see
And I have loved you beautifully
