lyrics

BEAUTIFUL ONE
By John Winskell
Written and recorded in 2002

lyrics:
1.) I hear your voice, it speaks to me sweetly,
It comes from the desert like incense and spice.
It awakens my love, but not my desire,
Show me your face my Beautiful One.

2.) Long have I waited, waited for your love,
I've gazed through my window off into each day.
The seasons have changed, I've watched the trees blossom,
Oh, come my darling, my Beautiful One.

BRIDGE 1:
Although I sleep, well my heart is awake,
The winter will pass and the rains will move on.
And the birds will be heard on the branch and the vine,
My, Beautiful One, oh, come and be mine.

3.) I wait for the daybreak, I stand in my garden,
My heart will awaken when I rest in his arms.
Come to me, come to me, then I will blossom,
Show me your face my Beautiful One.

4.) Who is this coming up from the desert?
His eyes are like doves, I see a beautiful face.
I smell the blossoms, such a beautiful fragrance,
I hear your pure voice my Beautiful One.

La, la, la, lalala la la...
5.) Who is this coming up from the desert?
His eyes are like doves, I see a beautiful face.
I smell the blossoms, such a beautiful fragrance,
Now I'll be your bride my Beautiful One.

BRIDGE 2:
My winter has passed and the rains have moved on,
The birds can be heard on the branch and the vine.
He stands here beside me, my heart is awake,
My Beautiful One I'll never forsake.
