If there is someone lovelier than you
Then I am blind, a man without a mind
If there is someone lovelier than you
But no, I am not blind
My eyes have travelled everywhere
In hope that I might find
A creature half so rare
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful
Such beauty can't be true
(Instrumental Break)
But no, I am not blind
My eyes have travelled everywhere
In hope that I might find
A creature half so fair
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful
Such beauty can't be true
