I've always been the kind of gal That had a lot to say. I says the things that's on my mind, Too dumb to shy away. But you hush my mouth and still me With a song i've never heard. I guess that means that you are just Too beautiful for words. I've seen this life from high and low And all that's in between. I danced with dukes, crooned with counts, Been courted like a queen. But when i see what's in your heart, All the rest is blurred. The grace you bring into this world's Too beautiful for words. You hide your head under your wing Just like a little bird. Oh, don't you know you're beautiful, Too beautiful for words? Celie, you're too beautiful for words.
I've always been the kind of gal
That had a lot to say.
I says the things that's on my mind,
Too dumb to shy away.
But you hush my mouth and still me
With a song i've never heard.
I guess that means that you are just
Too beautiful for words.
I've seen this life from high and low
And all that's in between.
I danced with dukes, crooned with counts,
Been courted like a queen.
But when i see what's in your heart,
All the rest is blurred.
The grace you bring into this world's
Too beautiful for words.
You hide your head under your wing
Just like a little bird.
Oh, don't you know you're beautiful,
Too beautiful for words?
Celie, you're too beautiful for words.
Isn't it lovely
