[Verse 1] You're beautiful so silently It lies beneath a shade of blue It struck me so violently When I looked at you But others pass; they never pause To feel that magic in your hand To me, you're like a wild rose They never understand why [Chorus] I cried for you, and the sky cried for you And when you went, I became a hopeless drifter But this life was not for you though I learned from you That beauty need only be a whisper [Verse 2] I'll cross the sea For a different world With your treasure, a secret For me to hold In many years they may forget This love of ours or that we met They may not know how much you meant To me [Chorus] I cried for you, and the sky cried for you And when you went, I became a hopeless drifter But this life was not for you though I learned from you That beauty need only be a whisper [Bridge] Without you, now I see How fragile the world can be And I know you've gone away But in my heart, you'll always stay [Chorus] I cried for you, and the sky cried for you And when you went, I became a hopeless drifter But this life was not for you though I learned from you That beauty need only be a whisper [Outro] That beauty need only be a whisper
