lyrics

She said she’d never been to London
She said she’d never been to Spain
She told me all about her family
As we rode the uptown train

We walked the platform to the exit
Stepped out into the rain
Ducked into a famous gallery
Filled with canvas and paint
Though the Van Gogh was impressive
My eyes were drawn to her face

Beauty comes in many forms
But none quite like yours
Beauty comes in many forms

I said I knew a spot on the west-side
Nothing fancy but maybe she’d like
To grab a tea of a coffee
Keep on talking for a while

She checked her watch and said, “Well, why not?
Suppose it’s early still, I guess”
We hailed a cab and rode across town
My heart was pounding in my chest
The city lights how they sparkle
Against her eyes it was no contest

Beauty comes in many forms
But none quite like yours
Beauty comes in many forms

Our cups were empty but we sat there
Unwilling to concede the night
In a last ditch effort I suggested
A band I knew playing nearby
We bought our tickets and we stood there
Swaying back and forth in time
Though the band was impressive
I couldn’t keep her off my mind
So when the house lights finally came on
I took her hand in mine and I said

Beauty comes in many forms
But none quite like yours
Beauty comes in many forms
But none quite like yours
Beauty comes in many forms
But none quite like yours
Beauty comes in many forms
