You're Beautiful
James Blunt Lyrics


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
Fucking high
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

La, la-la, 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

James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" is a song that tells a story of a man who sees a beautiful woman on the subway who he instantly falls in love with. The song starts with the declaration that his life is brilliant and that his love is pure. He then sees the woman and describes her as an angel, adding that she smiles at him even though she is with another man. The man isn't bothered by this because he has a plan. The chorus repeats multiple times, with the man proclaiming the truth of the woman's beauty and stating that he saw her face in a crowded place and doesn't know what to do because he'll never be with her.


The second verse reveals that the man was high when he saw the woman and that he doesn't think he'll see her again. However, they shared a moment that will always be with him. The chorus repeats once more, with the man acknowledging that there must be an angel responsible for the idea that he should be with the woman, but ultimately he knows he will never be with her. The song ends with "la-la-la" and a final declaration that he will never be with her.


Overall, the song is a beautiful and melancholic tribute to unrequited love. The man's pure and instant attraction to the woman is bittersweet since he recognizes he can't have her, but he appreciates the moment they shared nonetheless.


Line by Line Meaning

My life is brilliant
My life is good and full of joy


My love is pure
My love is genuine and true


I saw an angel
I saw a beautiful person


Of that I'm sure
I'm confident in what I saw


She smiled at me on the subway
She gave me a smile while we were on the train


She was with another man
She was in a relationship with someone else


But I won't lose no sleep on that
But that doesn't bother me too much


'Cause I've got a plan
Because I have a plan for what to do next


You're beautiful
You are stunningly beautiful


You're beautiful, it's true
You are truly beautiful


I saw your face in a crowded place
I saw you among many other people


And I don't know what to do
And I feel lost and unsure


'Cause I'll never be with you
Because we can never be together


Yes, she caught my eye
Yes, she got my attention


As we walked on by
As we passed each other


She could see from my face that I was
She could tell by looking at me that I was


Fucking high
Very intoxicated or under the influence of drugs


And I don't think that I'll see her again
And I doubt that I will see her once more


But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end
But we had a brief experience that will stay with me always


There must be an angel with a smile on her face
There must be a divine force responsible for bringing us together


When she thought up that I should be with you
When she decided that we were meant to be together


But it's time to face the truth
But I need to confront the reality


I will never be with you
I will never have the chance to be with you

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.
