Beautiful things
Are comin' my way
Beautiful things
I want them to stay
But after a while
My beautiful things
Don't seem beautiful at all

Terrible things
Like when you wake up
And all of your dreams
Seem to crack up
Like things you have done
Like breakin' my heart
For you it don't seem
Terrible at all

Is there someone I can talk to
Someone on the line
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind

Beautiful things
Like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things
The sky and the sea
Since you've been gone
No beautiful things
Seem beautiful to me

Is there someone I can talk to
Someone out there on the line
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind

Make the grass grow in the garden
When the rain is passin' by
Does anybody want to know
What's on my mind
