If I listen
If I listen close I can hear your heart
If I close my eyes
If I stand real still I know where you are
In the leaves that fall around like little hands with painted palms
In the birds that land on wires like wandering notes from other songs
You are beautiful
If I listen
If I listen close I can hear your voice
In the budding of the babyâs breath in the morning light
And the fields are dressed as kings in all the colors you have named
And the breeze bends flowers and ferns and whistling reeds whisper your name
And they call you beautiful
If I stand here
In my dirty feet and my wedding dress
Iâm unlovely
But youâre wooing me in spite of my mess
And the sweetness of the sun is like your kiss upon my eyes
A seal you place upon your heart, a promise for your bride
You call her beautiful
You call me beautiful
