You Are Too Beautiful

Like all fools, I believed what I wanted to believe
My foolish heart conceived what foolish hearts conceive
I thought I’d found a miracle, I thought that you’d adore me
But it was not a miracle, it was merely a mirage before me
You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true
And I am a fool for beauty
Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you
I could have bound you too
You are too beautiful for one man alone
For one lucky fool to be with
When there are other men
With eyes of their own to see with
Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs?
If, on the other hand, I’m faithful to you
It’s not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty
If, on the other hand, I’m faithful to you
It’s not through some sense of duty
For you are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty
