Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're beautiful, so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
[Verse 2]
But others pass, they never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why
[Verse 3]
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
[Verse 4]
I'll cross the sea for a different world
With your treasure, a secret
For me to hold
[Verse 5]
In many years they may forget
This love of ours, or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me
[Verse 6]
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
[Verse 7]
Without you, now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart, you'll always stay
[Verse 8]
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper
