he says i'm beautiful but i dont know what for
i'm nothin compared to tv and movie stars
i said i'll never be one to turn heads
but he says i'm beautiful instead
i said a star or a princess i'll never be
he won't even expect that of me
my name may never be known by this world
but he says i'll always be known as his girl
he says i am beautiful but i don't know why
and i am beautiful in his eyes
he says i am beautiful in his eyes
he says i dont need makeup or special lights
and he gives me proof when he holds me at night
so don't bother to ask me why
Because he says i am beautiful in his eyes
he says beauty is only skin deep
and he wants to go deeper than that with me
he says thats where true beauty is seen
and he says you are beautiful to me

This is absolutely a pretty thing to read. I'm so glad there are writers out there feeling this kind of love and know it for real. There are so many sad, lonely people out there and I'm rekindled in reading this. I truly believe it and he's a lucky man to have someone like you to love.
Wonderful! Made me feel all warm and gooshy inside... sigh...
thank you for sharing this - I'm glad you got a trophy - otherwise I may have missed this one. -

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" We are all beautiful in our own way - not necessarily the way society portrays beauty. How lucky you are to have someone who knows true beauty when he sees it! Thanks for sharing.
~Elora~ -
Your're a wonderful writer as well mmiss. This is a superb piece of work.
-
oh thank you my friend. I sure am trying ! GBY
-
wonderful! i love it!! but you are making it very hard to judge this contest!!!!!
-
ok i reworked it a little Molly. Can you take a look at it now? thanks, i appreciate it! GBY
-
Oh thank you so much for telling me about the "verse/chorus" thing! I forgot to take it out,lol.I will do that right away. I'm glad you liked it.Thanks for the nice applause too. Oh and I wish I had someone to tell me... what the song is saying GBY
-
By the way, i might add that I feel this way all the time...especially whenever my love says anything sounding like the word "beautiful" and you illustrate this feeling perfectly.
-
aaaaaw!!!! this poem definetely deserves a gigantic vicious and obnoxious "aaw"!!!!
the only thing I don't like is "chors" and "verse" written in there...it disrupts the flow of the poem/song. If you could just re-type it, maybe even change a word or two if you like (you don't have to, just something I like to do in my writing) it would flow more and not be so obviously...um...chopped up, I guess
but this is a wonderful poem! and i love the picture with it!
thank you for entering!

Just need to fix up 'don't' in the second stanza, and you have a very rare and beautifully simple yet profound piece. Well done! Keep that pen moving. x
-
it had a really nice flow to it and it did catch my attention i think it is very good wonderful write and keep up the good work
-
there is a very catchy rhythm to your words, which makes the phrase 'you are beautiful to me' seem new and fresh. to me that's good writing
-
this is so good remind me of something my bf says to me alot because i never think im good looking but he like well you are to me and it just makes you feel good and this poem helps you to remember them feelings and to remember what true beauty is well done!
-
this is amazing, i can realte to this poem as its what im going through at the moment, its well written
-
Great
Exceptional! I truly enjoyed this and would love to hear the melody. -
Wow, it is rare when i read a poem, or lyric, that says beauty is only skin deep, and we should go deeper than that. It seems most poets are bitter about one break up or another, and write more about that than the good side of love. I liked this song and could see some sultry singer in a smokey room singing it. Keep up the work.
Tiphanie
p.s. i don't know about this background color, its kind of jarring to my eyes, but i may be just a bit sleepy. -
there is more to be found in any person other than surface
people in (really) love tend to confound themselves with the other – feeling knowing and going beyond appearance
good piece – it was worth reading
-
Bravo!
WOW! Great poem...though it did not rhyme...it was appealing and pleasing in its own way...i like it...and the picture goes well with it...way to go, girly~~~ -
This is a great poem of showing that it is not just the surface of a being that counts! Easy flowing with great expression.
