You're So 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

The song "You're So Beautiful" by James Blunt is a romantic and melancholic ballad that tells the story of a man who falls in love with a woman he sees on the subway, but knows he can never be with her. The first verse of the song describes the man's life as being "brilliant" and his love as being "pure". He then sees an angelic woman on the subway and becomes enamored with her. Even though she is with another man, the man still feels a connection with her and is determined to do something about it because he has a plan.


The chorus repeats the line "You're beautiful, it's true" several times, emphasizing how much the man is in awe of this woman's beauty. He recalls seeing her face in a crowded place and feeling overwhelmed by his feelings for her. However, he knows that they will never be together because of the circumstances, and despite the fact that he feels like there must be an "angel" behind their connection, he must face the hard truth that they will never be.


Ultimately, this song explores the bittersweet nature of unrequited love and how it can leave a lasting impact on our lives, even if we never act on it. It also highlights the beauty in fleeting moments of connection with strangers that can stay with us forever. With its emotive lyrics and tender melody, "You're So Beautiful" is a moving ode to the power of love and longing.

She caught my attention as we walked past each other, and she could tell that I was under the influence of drugs


And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end
I do not believe that I will ever see her again, but the moment we shared will always be remembered


There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you
There must be an angel who smiled upon the thought of me being with you


But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you
I must accept the truth that I can never 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.
