BEAUTIFUL
(Gordon Lightfoot)

Gordon Lightfoot 1972


At times I just don't know 
How you could be anything but beautiful
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me.

And I know that I will never change
We've been friends through rain or shine 
For such a long, long time.

Laughing eyes and smiling face,
It seems so lucky just to have the right
Of telling you with all my might,
You're beautiful tonight.

And I know that you will never stray 
'Cause you been that way, from day to day 
For such a long, long time.

And when you hold me tight,
How could life be anything but beautiful 
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me.

And I know that I will never change 
We've been friends through rain or shine 
For such a long, long time.

I must say it means so much to me, to be the one 
That's telling you, I'm telling you, that you're beautiful.
