I Saw A Beautiful Girl Today

stop me if you’ve heard this before

because I’m sure a girl like you

couldn’t go through life without

twenty thousand stupid boys

telling you the same dumb things

about the blue-ness of you eyes

and the width of your stealing smiles

or how much they adore the smell

around you when they got that close

and that they’d be different

because you’re special and

they would never abandon you

or give you up or even share you

because they know what

an honour it is to have you

call them your lover

and smile when you think of them

and fidget on the bus on the

way to see them at night

and they’d probably tell you too

much too fast and you’d smile

as another one digs his own grave

but it’s alright i can see you smiling

like that now and i haven’t got past

the part of saying Hi and gee you know,

you sure are beautiful.
