That's Why You're Beautiful


Most of my life
I was the guy
who left the party alone.
Yeah, I was that guy
who waited for an e-mail
or a text or a ring of the
phone..
but girl, you caught my eye..
and you changed my life...
you gave me a something
and a someone to call my own../

"now I'm dancin to new music..."

What you have become to me
is everything that I..
think that I need...
You took away the seed
the seed of doubt and suspicion
buried deep within me..
You spoke to something deep inside..
Something that I didn't want to trust
something that I wanted to hide..
you changed my life-
you gave me a something...
and a someone to call mine../

That's why you're beautiful
That's why you're beautiful
to me..
What you've come to mean to me
as far as I can see
is all of life's possibilities...
That's Why You're Beautiful.../

I was that guy
all of the girls passed by
but deep down inside
I always knew that I
was just a kiss away from a breakthrough..
I was just about to give up, then I met
you...
You were just a ring away..
a ring on my cell phone..
Someone who gave me something
and someone to call my own../

"Now I'm Singing a new tune"

That's why you're Beautiful
That's why you're Beautiful
and baby see
what you've come to mean to me
as far as I can see
is all of life's possibilities...
That's Why You're Beautiful
That's Why You're Beautiful
to me./
