But Beautiful

But Beautiful - Carmen McRae

Who can say what loves doesn't start

In the mind or the heart

When I heard the discussions on what love is

Everybody speaks a different 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 a play

It's 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

Yes that would be also beautiful

That I know

Love you go
