about

This song is dedicated to my son Dexter, a young man, king of all he sees.

lyrics

Beautiful
(1992)

Fool that I am
I touched your hand
And you pull it back 
and I’m ashamed
You stand so powerful
A young man king of all he sees,
and who am I to shed such disgrace on you - 
I worship you
The way you stand, the words you choose
I am hopelessly drawn to the strength that’s in 
your arms
I tip my hat to you 
The most beautiful thing
I ever saw.  

Time tells his tale
of those who fail
My second chance,
My worthless glance
But you turned your back on me
Your insolence it leaves me cold
And who am I to beg power from the bold 

The most beautiful thing
I ever saw.
