Beautiful Things  [bad word]  my way 
Beautiful things 
I want them to stay 
But after a while 
My beautiful things 
Don't seem beautiful at all 

Terrible things 
Like when you wake up 
And all of your dreams 
Seem to crack up 
Like things you have done 
Like breakin' my heart 
For you it don't seem 
Terrible at all 

Is there someone I can talk to? 
Someone on the line? 
Does anybody want to hear 
What's on my mind? 

Beautiful things 
Like leaves on a tree 
Beautiful things 
The sky and the sea 
Since you've been gone 
No beautiful things 
Seem beautiful to me 

Is there someone I can talk to? 
Someone out there on the line? 
Does anybody want to hear 
What's on my mind? 

Make the grass grow in the garden 
When the rain is passin' by 
Does anybody want to know 
What's on my mind?
