Every time he goes, she dies   Every time she comes, she cries      He was her long, bright future   In the middle of a wrong, dark road   He loved her, but he wasn't too sure   If he could return the love she showed   When she said, my love extends   Beyond the realm of being friends   He kissed her head   And quietly he said      It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me   She said, how beautiful do I have to be?   When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see   And I have loved you beautifully      Well, ten thousand tears passed by   But she never let him see her cry   And he called up down one night   He said, let's get in the car and just drive      He talked a lot about loneliness   But why, she didn't know   And some song about Memphis    Was playing on the radio   She said, let's stop the car and slow dance   Won't you just give me a chance?   He took her hand   And hoped she'd understand      It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me   She said, how beautiful do I have to be?   When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see   And I have loved you beautifully      Well, she'll burn that bridge   And build a house   And swallow the smoke in her mouth   She'll feel the burn   And then make the choice   To put the fire in her voice      It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me   She said, how beautiful do I have to be?   When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see   And I have loved you beautifully
