You Are Too Beautiful

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

You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true

And I am a fool for beauty

Fooled by a feeling that because I had found you

I could have bound you too

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

Love does not stand sharing, not if one cares

Have you been comparing my every kiss with theirs?

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

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 fool for beauty
