But Beautiful - 1947 - The Road To Rio

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Sept 2001

Who can say what love is?
Does it start
in the mind or the heart?
When I hear discussions on what love is
ev'rybody speaks a diff'rent part.

Love is funny or it's sad,
or it's quiet or it's mad;
it's a good thing or it's bad,
But Beautiful!
Beautiful to take a chance
and if you fall, you fall
and I'm thinking
I wouldn't mind at all.
Love is tearful or it's gay;
it's a problem or it's play;
it's a heartache either way,
but beautiful!
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
and that would be but beautiful
I know.

Love is funny or it's sad,
or it's quiet or it's mad;
it's a good thing or it's bad,
But Beautiful!
Beautiful to take a chance
and if you fall, you fall
and I'm thinking
I wouldn't mind at all.
Love is tearful or it's gay;
it's a problem or it's play;
it's a heartache either way,
but beautiful!
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
and that would be but beautiful
I know.
