My shoes are shedding their soles,
my dress is so ragged you can see through it
my top is all patched
and the rest pretty worn too.
Never mind what they all say,
I don't care about them all.
I kind of feel like laughing and singing,
what happened to me is just unbelievable.
It's a guy who came into my life
It's a guy who told me crazy things
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
Nobody had ever said that to me.
It's a guy who looked like an angel
It's a guy who talked like angels do
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
I'm all dazzled
Since I was a child I dwelled
the dark streets of ignorance.
All of a sudden everything lit up,
my heart started to sing.
A strolling love is a beautiful thing
when a handsome guy holds the leash.
You would want to remain captive
just to gaze at your jailer.
It's a guy who came into my life
It's a guy who told me crazy things
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
Nobody had ever said that to me.
It's a guy who looked like an angel
It's a guy who talked like angels do
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
Do you want me forever?
I do.
