[Verse 1]
Love is a beautiful thing
Hugging, kissing, laughing, holding hands
Love is a beautiful thing
Unless it's you loving another man
Then I can't stand to see you
Hugging, kissing, laughing, holding hands
If it's not me, you see
How could that be a thing of beauty?

[Verse 2]
Love is a beautiful thing
Birds are singing songs down from the tree
Love is a beautiful thing
The breeze is blowing, rustling autumn leaves
But if those leaves are rustling underneath
Somebody else's feet
Then it's not me, you see
How could that be a thing of beauty?

[Bridge]
I find comfort in believing
Over time, I'll come to see someday
How love could be that way

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Love is a beautiful thing
Winter's rage has softened into spring
Love is a beautiful thing
And on your hand I see that there's a ring
And I would understand
If I had put that ring upon your hand
But it was not me, you see
So how could that be a thing of beauty?

[Outro]
No
I just can't see
I just can't see
No
How could love be?
