Finn
Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say...

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say...

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing just the way you are

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile




'Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are
Yeah...

I suoi occhi, i suoi occhi
Fan sembrare che le stelle non brillino
I suoi capelli, i suoi capelli
Le stanno perfettamente, senza che lei ci faccia chissà che

Lei è così bella e io glielo dico ogni giorno

lo so, lo so
Quando le faccio i complimenti lei non mi crede
Ed è così, è cosi
Triste pensare che non vede quello che vedo io

Ma ogni volta che lei mi chiede "sto bene?", io dico:

Quando vedo il tuo volto
Non c'è una cosa che vorrei cambiare
Perchè tu sei meravigliosa
Proprio cosi come sei

E quando sorridi,
Il mondo intero si ferma e ti osserva per un po'
Ragazza perchè tu sei meravigliosa
Proprio cosi come sei

Le sue labbra, le sue labbra
Potrei baciarle tutto il giorno se me lo permettesse

La sua risata, la sua risata
Lei la odia ma io penso che è così sensuale

Lei è così bella e io glielo dico ogni giorno

Lo sai, lo sai, lo sai non ti chiederei mai di cambiare
Se è la perfezione che stai cercando
resta così come sei

Quindi non disturbarti nemmeno a chiedere se stai bene
perchè sai bene che io direi:

Quando vedo il tuo volto
Non c'è una cosa che vorrei cambiare
Perchè tu sei meravigliosa
Proprio cosi come sei

E quando sorridi,
Il mondo intero si ferma e ti osserva per un pò
Ragazza perchè tu sei meravigliosa
Proprio cosi come sei

Così come sei
Così come sei
Ragazza tu sei meravigliosa
Proprio cosi come sei

Quando vedo il tuo volto
Non c'è una cosa che vorrei cambiare
Perchè tu sei meravigliosa
Proprio cosi come sei

E quando sorridi,
Il mondo intero si ferma e ti osserva per un pò
Ragazza perchè tu sei meravigliosa
Proprio cosi come sei

I just finished this episode.
Glee has taught me to shine, even if people try to push me to the back. Fight for the solos, stand up for the songs, express yourself with your music and voice.
That's why it's my new favorite show. I'm glad that I get to watch the show, even if some of the actors are no longer with us.

I love this comment don’t get me wrong but even if people in the show were to fight for solos yes they may have gotten them but who always sings at nationals and sectionals.Rachel and Finn.Mercedes belts out the last note and Kurt does the high stuff yes although glee teaches us important lessons it also teaches life can be unfair.There are so many unappreciated characters like Brittany and Tina. When Rachel has probably had over 100 solos signing in almost every episode.I REST MY CASE!

Soulphoenixproductions

Emma Wiley exactly! It’s also teaches us the value of friendship! And learning to accept who you are despite your flaws! 😀 and learning that friends will always have your back!

Local Cthulhu

This... this right here and many other things is why I love Finn Hudson’s character. He’s so sweet to everyone in his life. He treats Kurt and Burt like they’re actually related to him and you can see in season 3 how much he loves and cares for Rachel even though sometimes she doesn’t seem like she deserves it, but he loves her. And I don’t think I need to mention everyone else in the glee club all the way into season 4. He’s like a mentor to Jake Puckerman. He tried, and succeeded, to help both of the Puckerman kids when neither of them have a father figure. Finn and Cory were so great and will be missed for the rest of time.
