Witness from Coney Island by Fred Gillen Jr

You're so beautiful
if only you could see you as I see you
you'd be in love with you too
you're so beautiful

like one of those sped- up films of a flower
from swollen bud to brilliance in a moment
the sound of your crying after its over
is the voice of God saying "I love you"
the voice of God saying "I do"
the voice of God saying "I love you"

you're so beautiful
if you could only feel your hands on my back
you'd be in love with you too
you're so beautiful

like an engine that's choking but starts anyway
you fuel me up to keep me alive
and the energy of rushing after so long in decay
is the feel of God's hands on my face
the feel of God's hands on my face
the feel of God's hands on my face

and oh, that I am your witness
its not for me to question why
oh, that I am your witness
I'll just be here with eyes open wide
its not for me to question why
I'll be here with heart open wide

you're so beautiful
if only I could see you again
you'd see that my love has not waned
you're so beautiful
