Beautiful things
Are comin' my way
Beautiful things
I want them to stay
But after a while
My beautiful things
Don't seem beautiful at all
Terrible things
Like when you wake up
And all of your dreams
Seem to crack up
Like things you have done
Like breakin' my heart
For you it don't seem
Terrible at all
Is there someone I can talk to?
Is there someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?
Beautiful things
Like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things
The sky and the sea
Since you've been gone
All beautiful things
Don't seem
Beautiful to me
Is there someone I can talk to?
Is there someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?
