Phoebe Snow › Lyrics › How Beautiful

You are my mantra, you are my prayer
My benediction, my conviction, my electric chair
My reaction, attraction
You expose my every layer

You're my poem on a cloudy day
Alabaster shores with palms that sway
A fleeting glance misread
And then I run away

You'll always be my inspiration
I love you from afar
Oh, my love, how beautiful
How beautiful we are, we are

You're my morning star, my wake up call
You are my trip, you are my fall, my fall

You are sacred ancient music
For the devil to deploy
Prying loose the dead bolt
To my heart's forgotten door

You'll always be my inspiration
I love you from afar
Oh, my love, how beautiful
How beautiful

You'll always be my inspiration
I love you from afar
Oh, my love, how beautiful
How pitiful we are, we are, we are

Beautiful we are
I love you
