In the eyes of the beholder
There's beauty in everything
It all depends on just how hard youre looking
That gets you what life bringsSo I really don't mind waiting
Though youre half a world away
It's remembering your silly smile
That gets me through the dayI read fifteen chapters of a
Real slow book today
And I noticed for a short time
That I forgot you'd gone awayThrough two hole pots of coffee
I washed the dishes and I cleaned the shelves
Then I thought I heard you tell me
To stop feeling sorry for myselfSo some, they, they talk of cease fire
Or heading for higher ground
Like a frog that jumps to water lilies
Youre the safest thing I've foundAnd if you weren't so beautiful
I would love you just the same
You'd be a rose by any other nameI know I could have had a life of sandy beaches
Champagne and top shelf wine
But 'cos life doesn't last forever
I chose you and got it right the first timeWe'll make hay while the sun shines
And love 'til the evening fades
And that beats riches
It's a better life we've made, so whileSo some, they, they talk of cease fire
Or heading for higher ground
Like a frog that jumps to water lilies
Youre the safest thing I've foundAnd if you weren't so beautiful
I'd love you just the same
You'd be a rose by any other nameSo when you get home, boy, look out
I'll show you just what loves all about
There'll be candles and wine
I'll pull down the blind and I'll tell
All our friends that we're outSo some, they, they talk of cease fire
Or heading for higher ground
Like a frog that jumps to water lilies
Youre the safest thing I've foundAnd if you weren't so beautiful
I'd love you just the same
You'd be a rose by any other name
