You Are So Beautiful Lyrics

You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me
Can't you see, you're everything I hoped for
You're everything that I need, you are so beautiful, to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me
Can't you see, you're everything I hoped for
Everything that I need, you are so beautiful, to me

So simple yet so strong. I love this song. Ican listen to it a billion times and never get tired.

Love (the emotion) is difficult to explain. Sometimes the more simple the song the more special...

I've heard that this song was composed by Billy Preston and he's singing to God, not to a girl.

The clue are the missing second verse from the lyrics above (that Joe Cocker sang sometimes, see watch?v=WR5_oiayAew in youtube) :

Missing verse:

Such joy and happiness you bring Such joy and happiness you bring Like a dream A guiding light that shines in the night Heavens gift to me You are so beautiful to me

before I knew that, I was singing/dedicating this song to my wife and also to my kids :)

Nothing you typed makes it a song about God. It's a song about love. Night is a metaphor for rough times. And Heaven sends gifts to us in the form of partners. This song is too romantic to be about God, although if you hear God than it's about God....

@webzoneus he\'s singing it to his MOTHER ... according to his quote on Wikipedia

somethings dont need many words to say

short lyrics emphasis on meaning, and repetition backs up that view.

this song is so powerful, an all time classic love song.

This is a classic indeed. I remember seeing it in the Little Rascals movie growing up (yes, im young). Alfalfa was singing it to his little lady and soap bubbles kept coming out of his mouth. OT....

this song was recently featured on one of those "i love the..." shows on vh1...(can't remember which year it was), and i found it really funny that the commentators were saying how this is an insulting song. "you are so beautifull.....well, to me at least" LOL, i didn't agree with this interpretation, but i still thought it was really funny.
I actually think the "..to me" part emphasizes that the speaker doesn't care anything about what other people would think, not necessarily meaning that they'd think she is ugly, but regardless of what other people may or may not think, he doesn't care: she's beautiful to him!

So simple, yet SO beautiful! This song reminds me of my girlfriend. I sang this to her on our first date. I love her!

So simple yet so strong. I love this song.

sorry i meant to comment..and good luck;).
