The group is comprised of Tony Borowiak, Jamie Jones, Delious Kennedy, and Alfred Nevarez. All of them were from the Mojave, California City, and Hesperia areas of California. As stated before, they are best known for "I Swear", which was also nominated for Song Of The Year at the Grammys (as was the single "I Can Love You Like That", another remake of a Montgomery country song, the following year). All-4-One almost became transatlantic chart toppers, blocked only by Wet Wet Wet's cover "Love Is All Around" (originally by The Troggs) for the soundtrack to the 1994 film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' (that cover spent 15 weeks at number one in the U.K. Singles Chart).
Many people often mistake All-4-One songs for those done by Boyz II Men, another popular 90s R&B group. This is due to their very similar music style as well as the fact that both artists had the height of their popularity in around 1994 or so. At any rate, All-4-One achieved considerable airplay for years afterwards.
However, declining sales led to the group leaving the Atlantic Records label after the release of the album 'On and On' in 1999. Still, even the shift in labels did not help shore up the group's flagging popularity, as the follow-up album, 'A41', and its lead single "Not Ready 4 Goodbye" both failed to chart in the U.S. (although their next single, "Beautiful As You", was a minor Adult Contemporary hit). Their 2004 album, titled 'Split Personality', was given an Asia-only release.
All-4-One later signed a new record deal with the label Peak Concord. Their seventh album (and, to date, their latest), titled 'No Regrets', came out in September 2009. That release is perhaps best known for featuring the song "Key to Your Heart". As well, the group's iconic singles "I Swear" and "I Can Love You Like That" have continued to receive airplay and praise over the years.

Beautiful As You
All-4-One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the moment I looked into your eyes
There was something about you I knew, I knew
That you were once in a lifetime
A treasure near impossible to find
And I know how lucky I am to have you
'Cause I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you
I can't believe that I have you
I can't believe that you're here in my arms
I've been waiting a life time for you, for you
And I've dreamed about you
Pictured in my mind who I would see
But I never imagined just how beautiful you'd be
'Cause I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
(Take your breath away)
The beauty of the setting sun, on any given day (any given day)
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you
I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
(Take your breath away)
The beauty of the setting sun, on any given day
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
But I've never seen anything as beautiful
But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you
From the moment I saw you
From the moment I looked into your eyes
The song "Beautiful as You" by All-4-One is a love song that expresses the singer's awe and appreciation for his partner's unique beauty.

The singer is immediately captivated by the beauty he sees in his partner's eyes, and this initiates a connection that he knows is rare and valuable. He recognizes that his partner is a "treasure near impossible to find" and feels incredibly lucky to have her.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's awe and wonder at his partner's beauty. He compares her to rainbows, setting suns, and shooting stars, all natural phenomena that are known for their breathtaking beauty. However, he makes it clear that his partner is even more beautiful than these wonders of nature. He repeats this message multiple times throughout the song, as if to drive home the point that his partner's beauty is an exceptional and rare gift.
Overall, "Beautiful as You" is a powerful song that celebrates the beauty of love and the value of finding someone who is truly special. Its message is simple and direct, yet it resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced the awe-inspiring power of love.

From the moment I saw you
Since the very first time I laid my eyes on you
From the moment I looked into your eyes
From the instant I gazed into your eyes
There was something about you I knew, I knew
I had a feeling within me that I knew, I knew, was peculiar about you
That you were once in a lifetime
That you were unique and rare, happening once in a person's life
A treasure near impossible to find
A valuable asset that is hard to acquire
And I know how lucky I am to have you
I understand the fortune I possess in having you by my side
'Cause I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
Although I have witnessed beautiful things like rainbows
The beauty of the setting sun, on any given day
the setting sun with its ravishing beauty at any moment
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
Also, I have seen some stars shooting through the sky
But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you
None of the previously seen beautiful things exceeds the loveliness that is you
I can't believe that I have you
It's quite surreal that I have your affection and company
I can't believe that you're here in my arms
It's still so hard to comprehend that I'm holding you close to my body
I've been waiting a life time for you, for you
I've hoped and yearned for a partner like you for my whole life
And I've dreamed about you
Many times I have had you appear in my dreams
Pictured in my mind who I would see
In my imagination, I had created an image of who you'd appear to be
But I never imagined just how beautiful you'd be
Nonetheless, I could have never foreseen the extent of your beauty
I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
Once again, although I've noticed rainbows that are stunning
The beauty of the setting sun, on any given day
I can never get tired of the enthralling sight of the setting sun whenever
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
Even though I've come in contact with some shooting stars in the past
But I've never seen anything as beautiful
Still, none of them compares to the beauty that radiates from you
But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you
None of the previously seen beautiful things exceeds the loveliness that is you
From the moment I saw you
Since the very first time I laid my eyes on you
From the moment I looked into your eyes
From the instant I gazed into your eyes

Someone special dedicated this song to me. I set him free, but I'll never forget him. Because from the moment I looked into his eyes, I knew, I knew that he would always be a part of me. Even if we are not together, everytime I see a rainbow, or the setting sun I'll be thinking about you.
