But Beautiful

Natalie Cole

Who can say what love is
That it starts in the mind of the heart
When I hear discussions on what love is
Everybody speaks of different parts

Love is funny
Or it's sad
Or it's quiet
Or it's mad
It's a good thing
Or it's bad
But beautiful

Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinking
Oh I wouldn't mind at all

Love is tearful
Or it's gay
It's a problem
Or it's play
It's a heartache
Either way
But beautiful

And I'm thinking
That if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful
Yes, beautiful
Oh, beautiful
That would be beautiful
I know
