How Beautiful You Are - 2006 Remaster

Lyrics

You want to know why I hate you?
 Well I'll try and explain
 You remember that day in Paris
 When we wandered through the rain
 And promised to each other
 That we'd always think the same
 And dreamed that dream
 To be two souls as one
 And stopped just as the sun set
 And waited for the night
 Outside a glittering building
 Of glittering glass and burning light
 ♪
 And in the road before us
 Stood a weary greyish man
 Who held a child upon his back
 A small boy by the hand
 The three of them were dressed in rags
 And thinner than air
 And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
 The father's eyes said "Beautiful!
 How beautiful you are!"
 The boy's eyes said
 "How beautiful!
 She shimmers like a star!"
 The child's eyes uttered nothing
 But a mute and utter joy
 And filled my heart with shame for us
 At the way we are
 I turned to look at you
 To read my thought upon your face
 And gazed so deep into your eyes
 So beautiful and strange
 Until you spoke
 And showed me understanding is a dream
 "I hate these people staring
 Make them go away from me!"
 The father's eyes said "Beautiful!
 How beautiful you are!"
 The boy's eyes said
 "How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"
 The child's eyes uttered nothing
 But quiet and utter joy
 And stilled my heart with sadness
 For the way we are
 ♪
 And this is why I hate you
 And how I understand
 That no-one ever knows or loves another
 Or loves another
