Beautiful to Me
Shane Filan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just hoping, praying for someone
But I've had you here for every moment
I found the place that I belong
Has anybody ever told you
You do your living while you're young
But I'd spend forever getting older
And if we're apart, come tomorrow
Just know that my heart will follow you
Wherever you go, whoever you meet
Always remember that you're beautiful to me
I want you to know, I need you to see
You're perfectly wonderful, you're beautiful to me
Always remember that you're beautiful to me
Remember when we watched the sunrise
The nights we lay beneath the stars
You'd lay your head upon my shoulder
We'd spend our day just counting cars
And if we're apart, come tomorrow
Just know that my heart is gonna follow you
Wherever you go, whoever you meet
Always remember that you're beautiful to me
I want you to know, I need you to see
You're perfectly wonderful, you're beautiful to me
Always remember that you're beautiful to me
And if we grow apart and you're lost in the dark
I swear just look in your heart and count those cars again
And you'll find me, yeah you'll find me there
Wherever you go, whoever you meet
Always remember that you're beautiful to me
I want you to know, I need you to see
You're perfectly wonderful, you're beautiful to me
Always remember that you're beautiful to me
