I call to you in midnight dreams, in longest waking hours
I call to you in birdsong, in the blooming June-time flowers
I call to you forever, from outside beyond time
I call to you, oh darling, will you be mine?
Oh, I can see the beauty of you
Oh, it’s your beauty shining through
Oh, I can see the beauty of you
Oh, from out of the blue
I reach for you across disappointment, I reach for you across
fear
I reach for you across days and months, and into another year
I reach for you across skin of numbers, story’s rattling bones
I reach for you, oh darling, will you come home?
Oh, I can see the beauty of you
Oh, it’s your beauty shining through
Oh, I can see the beauty of you
Oh, from out of the blue
You were sitting like a Buddha in the middle of the floor
And your glorious smile lit up the room
The light on your hair
In each hand you clutched a wooden spoon
So let’s make a cake, oh darling
A sweetest meal for two
We’ll eat the feast that rises with the yeast
The love that lives
Between me and you
Between me and you
Oh, I can see the beauty of you
Oh, it’s your beauty shining through
Oh, I can see the beauty of you
Oh, the beauty
The beauty of you (the beauty of you)
The beauty of you (the beauty of you)
The beauty of you (the beauty of you)
The beauty of you (the beauty of you)
