Beautiful All the Way Through

F Am
The first time that I saw you, your hair fell soft around your face
Bb C
You came gliding ‘round the corner trailing elegance and grace
The first time that you spoke, your voice rose and fell with ease
And joy and inspiration made me weak around the knees

Bb C
There are many pretty women, all twisted up inside
F F/E F/D
They say that beauty is skin deep and that is true
Bb C
But when I listen to you laugh and when I look into your eyes
Bb C F
I see you beautiful all the way through

The first time that I held you, you leaned against my chest
And I felt your warm heart beating, full and soft inside your breast
The first time that I kissed you, and you slipped into my embrace
I felt the breath of passion free and soft against my face

There are many pretty women, all tangled up inside
They say that beauty is skin deep and that is true
But when I listen to you speak and when you break your easy smile
I see you beautiful all the way through

It’s like someone made you out of love and built you up that way
And fed you dreams and laughter and music every day
Like a craftsman builds his masterpiece a stone upon a stone
It all turned into beauty that goes straight down to the bone

The first time that I sing this song and lay it on the line
I know that you’ll be gracious and I know that you’ll be kind
And if I have tipped my hand too far as romance has its start
I trust you’ll treat it kindly when I show to you my heart

There are many pretty women, all broken up inside
They say that beauty is skin deep and that is true
But when I listen to you laugh and when I look into your heart
I see you beautiful all the way through
