Too Beautiful

Too Beautiful - Sonya Kitchell

And I laid down in fields of gold

Only to rest my head

And I walked home

On a warm summer's day

With buttercups and Queen Ann lace

For my bed

And I ran until I could run no more

And I jumped in to an icy cold stream

And as the water ran across my body

I wondered

Is this all just a dream

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

It's too beautiful to be

And I looked out across a quiet lake

Echoing the sounds of night

And I watched the yellow grass dance to a symphony

Early in the morning light

And I walked down the street

Crowded by faces and places

I've never known

Foreign lines sketched by foreign designs

Seep through my body

To the bone

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

It's too beautiful to be

And when the night

Comes to tame me

I won't fight

'Cause it's no good to fight when you're down

When the night

Comes to claim me

I won't fight

'Cause it's no good to fight when you're down

No it's no good to fight when you're down

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

It's too beautiful to be
