about

I Need the Beauty of You
This song is an unabashed love song. But with a twist -- the singer realizes the main attributes he loves about his woman all have little to do with her physical beauty. He wants to spend every spare second with her because she enchants him with her personality, her conversation, her grace. He loves the tilt of her laughing eyes, the sound of her divine sighs. He comes to see Love is about never letting it get old. See the video, “Don Whitaker – I Need the Beauty of You.”

lyrics

I can’t believe I spend every free second with you,
doing this for years, Mona Lisa, I need your presence,
you always laugh away the time, I see you need me too,
like two couplets and a rhyme, the two of us make sense.
Chorus
I need the beauty of you,
the tilt of your laughing eyes,
sound of your divine sighs,
all sorrow brought there just dies,
you’re where my soul always lies,
I need the beauty of you.

You’re always there by my side, the better part of my soul,
beside you, I’m inside the truest core of my being.
Past women always forced demands of my peace, paid their toll;
you’re the blade to slice my edges away, someone freeing.

Chorus
I need the beauty of you,
the tilt of your laughing eyes,
sound of your divine sighs,
all sorrow brought there just dies,
you’re where my soul always lies,
I need the beauty of you.

Bridge
I used to think I’m unreformable,
I was a lost man on a lost journey,
Beauty of you is we’re compatible,
Beauty, you healed a worn, torn me.

And all the time, Love means wanting to talk to you,
you walk in sainted incense swirls of all my lives and deaths;
Love is not letting it get old, no matter what we do,
We’re both together through the clouds of all my lives
of all my lives
of all my lives and deaths.

Chorus
I need the beauty of you,
the tilt of your laughing eyes,
sound of your divine sighs,
all sorrow brought there just dies,
you’re where my soul always lies,
I need the beauty of you.
