Richard Rodgers
You Are Too Beautiful
[Intro]
Like all fools, I believed what I wanted to believe
My foolish heart conceived what foolish hearts conceive
I thought I'd found a miracle, I thought that you’d adore me
But it was not a miracle, it was merely a mirage before me
[Verse 1]
You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true
And I am a fool for beauty
Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you
I could have bound you too
[Verse 2]
You are too beautiful for one man alone
For one lucky fool to be with
When there are other men
With eyes of their own to see with
[Verse 3]
Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs?
[Chorus]
If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
If, on the other hand, I’m faithful to you
It's not through some sense of duty
For you are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty
