You're beautiful

By James Blunt

From 《Back to bedlam》



My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.

My love is pure.

I saw an angel.

Of that I'm sure.

She smiled at me on the subway.

She was with another man.

But I won't lose no sleep on that,

'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw you face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,

As we walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was,

Fucking high,

And I don't think that I'll see her again,

But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw you face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face,

When she thought up that I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth,

I will never be with you.

这首曾经蝉联4周全英冠军单曲的《You're beautiful》再次证明了越是简单的旋律，简单的歌词，越能打动人心。

James Blunt 出生在军人家庭，从英国布里斯托大学毕业后，在推出这张经典专辑之前，他加入军队并一路升到上尉，担任过英国女王亲卫队，也曾被派驻到德国科索沃目睹血腥内战，并成为第一个派遣到普利斯提纳的英国军官，领导三万人的和平部队。在白天，James Blunt 是带领3万人和平部队的军官，但每到夜里，他总是会爬上他的坦克车，在宁静的夜空下，拿着吉他写下这张专辑里的歌曲。
