The Most Beautiful Girl
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Won't, won't you tell her that I love her
I woke up this morning, realized what I had done
I knew I'd lost my morning sun
I lost my head and I said some things
Now come the heartaches that the morning brings
I know I'm wrong and I couldn't see
I let my world slip away from me
So, hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her
If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
