You're like a little baby
That gives its greatest smile to a passing stranger, And then forgets him
You're like a child that runs to get a new fun toy
And then rejects it
And then forgets it straight away
But when you are beautiful
Oh God, you are beautiful
Yes, when you are beautiful
Don't ever change, please stay the same
You're like a lighthouse on the ocean
That casts its beam on the open sea
Then plunges it in darkness
You're like a brief one day summer
You're like a butterfly in color
That's flying high before it dives
But when you are beautiful
Oh God, you are beautiful
Yes, when you are beautiful
Don't ever change, please stay the same
Hey, hey
But when you are beautiful
Oh God, you are beautiful
Yes, when you are beautiful
Don't ever change, please stay the same
Oh, ho, ho
But when you are beautiful
Oh God, you are beautiful
Yes, when you are beautiful
Don't ever change, please stay the same
Oh, ho, ho
