From the recording Ladybird (Full Album)
I was actually commissioned to write this song in NY, by someone attempting to reclaim the heart of a lost love. It worked! So now, having added the outro, it is a song that I often dedicate to my husband, James. Beauty reminds both of use to look for it in everything, and to practice giving....and receiving grace.
Lyrics
Beauty by Mehuman Ernst c. 2023
My eyes are playing tricks on me
I’ve never seen such beauty
My eyes are playing tricks on me
I’ve never known such beauty
Is all this beauty for free?
My head is playing games with me
I thought I once knew you
My head is playing games with me
I thought I knew just what I wanted
I want you beauty, do you want me?
Perfect timing, come lay down here beside me
Come into the light, come into the light!
My heart oh its failing me
I can hear you breathing
My heart oh its failing me
I can hear you leaving (me)
If you leave me beauty, leave some beauty that’s free
If you leave me beauty, leave some beauty for me.
I want to dance with you in the pale moon light
Pull you close and hold you tight
Whispers of love and a happy life
You be my husband and I’ll be your wife
Gonna to tell the truth even when it hurts
And soothe your heart with my kind words
Be your lover, friend and champion
I’ve got your back, babe through thick and thin
Let love win, let our love win!
If you leave me beauty, leave some beauty that’s free
If you leave me beauty, leave some beauty for me.
