Beautiful Lyrics
At times I just don't know
How you could be anything but beautiful
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me
And I know that I won't ever change
We've been friends
Through rain or shine
For such a long, long time
Laughing eyes, a smiling face
It seems so lucky just to have the right
Telling you with all my might
You're beautiful tonight
And I know that you won't ever stray
'Cause you've been that way
From day to day
For such a long, long time
And when you hold me tight
How could life be anything but beautiful?
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me
And I know that I won't ever change
We've been friends
Through rain or shine
For such a long, long time
Well I must say,
It means so much to me
To be the one
Who's telling you... I'm telling you
That you're beautiful
How you could be anything but beautiful
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me
We've been friends
Through rain or shine
For such a long, long time
It seems so lucky just to have the right
Telling you with all my might
You're beautiful tonight
'Cause you've been that way
From day to day
For such a long, long time
How could life be anything but beautiful?
I think that I was made for you
And you were made for me
We've been friends
Through rain or shine
For such a long, long time
It means so much to me
To be the one
Who's telling you... I'm telling you
That you're beautiful

The title matches both the woman it reminds me of as well as its sweet tune. Guys, learn the lyrics and sing it to your woman. If you love her like the lyrics reflect, it'll be hard to do with dry eyes...and she'll love it.
Supposedly, Gordon was inspired to write this wonderful song upon hearing of the untimely death of a close female friend, which makes it all the more poignant...and Beautiful.
First time I heard this song I thought it was about Canada :)
The most beautiful love song in history.
Having listened to Lightfoot's music since his earliest days, owned albums, etc., I thought I had heard them all. Until a few years ago, when I saw a guy playing this song on YouTube. All I could think was "Wow!" on several levels: Great cover. Great song! How could I have missed this one?! Must learn this to sing to my wife! Thanks to Gordon (and this site), I now have the closest lyrics to matching, in a sincere and straightforward way, both who she is, and how I feel about her.
I was already married, so it was too late for me, but I always thought that this would be the most romantic song to use as the wedding song, with the couple singing it to each other.
