Every time he goes, she dies Every time she comes, she cries
He was her long, future In the middle of a wrong, dark road He loved her, but he 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 When I look 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 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 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 She said, how beautiful do I have to be? When I look in the mirror, you're the thing I see And I have loved you beautifully
Well, she'll burn that bridge And build a house And swallow 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 loved you beautifully
