But Beauiful

But Beautiful

Who can say what love is
Does it start in the mind or the heart?
When I hear discussions on what love is
Everybody speaks a different part,

Love is funny, or it's sad
Or it's quiet, or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance and if you fall you fall
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all

Love is tearful, or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know

And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go
That would be but beautiful
That would be but beautiful
That would be but beautiful I know
