You Are Too Beautiful 1932 - 'Hallelujah, I'm A Bum'

Like all fools,
I believed what I wanted to believe.
My foolish heart conceived
what foolish hearts conceive.
I thought I found a miracle,
I thought that you'd adore me,
But it was not a miracle,
It was merely a mirage before me....

You are too beautiful,
my dear, to be true
And I am a fool for beauty
Fooled by a feeling
that because I have found you
I could have bound you too
You are too beautiful
for one man alone
For one lucky fool to be with
When there are other men
With eyes of their own to see with

Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs
If, on the other hand,
I'm faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty....

You are too beautiful,
my dear, to be true
And I am a fool for beauty
Fooled by a feeling
that because I have found you
I could have bound you too
You are too beautiful
for one man alone
For one lucky fool to be with
When there are other men
With eyes of their own to see with

Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs
If, on the other hand,
I'm faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty....
