It was such a Beautiful Thing
Just lying there for the taking!

I took it in my hands and marveled.
How could something so wonderful come to me?

The glow from the Beautiful Thing
Warmed my heart and made me feel whole.

When I looked at the Beautiful Thing
I could see your face and I knew.

Taking the Beautiful Thing to you
Seemed so right and yet….

I don’t know where it came from
But this Beautiful Thing is yours.

We played with the Beautiful Thing.
We let the Beautiful Thing grow.

And for a while I really thought
We could share the Beautiful Thing.

Then one day…
What happened?

We no longer played.
Are we still growing?

What can I do with the Beautiful Thing?
I tried to put it in my pocket.

I've dressed it up and made it a pet.
But it is still a Beautiful Thing.

It will not leave me in peace.
Its glow has changed my life.

Now I don’t know what to do without
This Beautiful Thing!

You said to wait, be patient.
And so the Beautiful Thing waits.

And it aches and it tries to be strong
And can't believe you're gone.

Here I stand
Not knowing what to do.

Holding in my hands
The Beautiful Thing!
