It’s a big, scary world
I tell the kids to proceed carefully
From your doorstep to your dreams
It’s a long walk
Remember when we first met?
All the people that came and went
You helped me to realize
What love really meant
It’s your beautiful heart
Your beautiful soul
Your beautiful mouth that I have kissed
We’re killin’ the time
Killin’ the blues
Killin’ the pain from what we missed
And I am defenseless, it’s true
I am defenseless from you
Remember the jazz in Paris?
It was bursting around midnight
Remember the sun on the beach
And the tropical birds in mid-flight?
Or the barroom on New Years
Where we sang Auld Lang Syne?
You put your fragile
Hands in mine
Your beautiful eyes
And your beautiful heart
And your beautiful soul cannot be missed
Life-filled, brimming with love
Your beautiful soul
And your beautiful mouth that I have kissed
And I am defenseless, it’s true
I am defenseless from you
Rocky rivers lead to oceans
And the birds start to sing
At the joy that you bring
Apartments scoot close together
Blue buildings huddle so tight
Small mistakes in architecture
Will cause those walls to fall
But before they crumble
They have some time to stand
Look at the way the sun hits ‘em
Don’t they look so grand?
Your beautiful heart
And your beautiful soul
And your beautiful mouth that I have kissed
We’re killing the time
Killing the blues
Killing the pain of what we missed
And I am defenseless
I am defenseless
I am defenseless
