I see so much beauty
Hidden way beneath your skin
That sure ain't no sin
You say you ain't pretty
Not in any place it counts
But I am blind to all that you doubt

It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody just made me feel alive

Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive

You know why he wants you
But I ain't the same as him
Look a little further within
Your life has had some long nights
All those tears I wipe away
Just close your eyes and hear what I say

It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody just made me feel alive

Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive

I never thought I'd find the one - it's like a dream
Gotta get closer to you, if you know what I mean, baby
Don't be scared - I'll never hurt you, never lie
Truth is I need you, cause you make me feel alive

Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
