You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why I cried for you

When the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget

This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know how much you meant to me.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,

That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see,
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper
