Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My life is brilliant

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

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 I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Flyin' high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last till the end

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 I'll never be with you

La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la

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

Overall Meaning

The song "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt is a melancholic and sentimental tune about an encounter with a woman that the singer sees as an "angel" and "beautiful." The song is structured around the use of repetitions and simple verses that get straight to the point. The repetition of the phrase "you're beautiful" emphasizes the singer's longing and unrequited love for the woman, and highlights the beauty that he sees in her.


The singer's life is "brilliant" and his love is "pure," but the sadness comes from the fact that he knows he can't be with her because she is already with another man. He saw her on the subway and caught her eye and they shared a moment, but he knows that is all it will ever be. Even though he won't "lose sleep" over her being with someone else, it is clear that he will always harbor a deep yearning for her.


Line by Line Meaning

My life is brilliant
I am content with my life


My love is pure
I have genuine, sincere feelings of love


I saw an angel, of that I'm sure
I saw someone perfect and angelic in beauty


She smiled at me on the subway
She showed me kindness and affection in a public place


She was with another man
She was already committed to another relationship


But I won't lose no sleep on that
It won't keep me up at night worrying or stressing


'Cause I've got a plan
I have determined my next steps and approach to the situation


You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's true
You are stunning and breathtakingly beautiful


I saw your face in a crowded place and I don't know what to do
I was immediately drawn to you and overwhelmed by my emotions


'Cause I'll never be with you
I accept that we are not destined to be together


Yes, she caught my eye as we walked on by
She clearly stood out to me as we passed each other


She could see from my face that I was flyin' high
She could tell I was ecstatic and elated by my expression


And I don't think that I'll see her again
I don't anticipate seeing her in the future


But we shared a moment that will last till the end
We had a memorable moment that will remain with me forever


There must be an angel with a smile on her face, when she thought up that I should be with you
There must be a higher power that believes we're meant to be together


But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you
However, I must face reality that our paths will never intersect

My life is brilliant.

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.

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 I'll never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high. [ - video/radio edited version]
Fucking high. [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end.

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 I'll never be with you.

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.
