Lyrics: But Beautiful

(Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke)

Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful . . .
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And I'm thinkin' if you were mine,
I'd never let you go,
And that would be just beautiful I know
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I would never let you go!
And that would be so beautiful. . . .
Yes, that would be but beautiful . . .
I know!
