My life is brilliant
*Musical Pause*
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
(chorus)
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause Ill never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As I walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
(chorus)
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
I will never be with you.
(La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la, La-la-la-la, Laaah)
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
I love this song. The video is kinda confusing though...
When I first saw it I thought he was committing suicide coz he'd just sang "And its time to face the truth... I will never be with you..." and then he jumps off... whatever he is standing on. I was like, !! But then I realized he was just jumping into the sea lol.
Anyway, there was a post a while ago about the bit where he says "****king high" in some versions instead of "flying high"... I think it ruins the song too. I didn't hear the unedited version till today (I'm slow, i know ) and it was like... just no! lol. So yep, I think it was so much more beautiful without swearing...
