Beautiful Girl

This is a song for those who have loved a girl you grown up with.

I have known you since I was five years old
Skipping rocks on the river and playing tag
Were some of our favorite things to do,

We grew up in the same old town
Going through school we were best friends
No one could separate us for more than ten minutes
Until that day came when I had to leave for college

The years went by and I thought of you here and there
One day I came home from school
When I got to the driveway
I saw you, sitting there waiting for me.
         
You are such a beautiful girl
Beautiful girl, yeah
Beautiful girl
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, yeah.

God’s an artist and he spent all his time making you
If people say you’re ugly don’t believe what they say
Look in my eyes ‘cause they're like a mirror
And you’ll see how beautiful you truly are

(Repeat Chorus x2 – CAPO 1)

When did you realize that we were meant to be
Was it last week when I came home or since you were five?
Just so you know, until my last breath
I’ll give you my love
Till the day I pass.
