And I Was Beautiful
[COUNTESS AURELIA]
He stood and looked at me, and I was beautiful
For it was beautiful, how he believed in me
His love was strong enough to make me anything
So I was everything he wanted me to be
But then he walked away and took my smile with him
And now the years blur by, but every now and then
I stop and think of him, and how he looked at me
And all at once, I'm beautiful again
But then he walked away and took my smile with him
And now the years blur by, but every now and thеn
I stop and think of him, and how he looked at me
And all at oncе, I'm beautiful again
For a moment, I'm beautiful again
