Song: You Are Beautiful, My Love

I wrote this song in honor of my wife, Jennifer, on the occasion of our fifth wedding anniversary. It comes from my experience of realizing just how blessed I am to be married to such a good and faithful woman. It’s very easy to take the people we love for granted. Every once in a while, though, those scales fall from my eyes and I’m dumbstruck by the blessing I have in her.

I included You Are Beautiful, My Love in this video, but I also want to make it available for download. It is licensed CC-BY-SA (see below) so you can feel free to share it with others. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Lyrics

When I think about you smiling sweetly, I am overcome by you.
When I think about the way you love me, oh how I know that I’m for you.

And there is nothing I won’t do
If it means that I can show the world the love I have for you.
And there is no place I won’t fly
If it means that I can look into your eyes.

You are beautiful, my love.
You are beautiful, my love.
And there is no one I would rather spend my life with than you.
You are beautiful, my love.
You are beautiful, my love.
And there is no one, there is no one I would rather dream of.

When I think about you smiling sweetly, I am overcome by you.
When I think about the way you love me, oh how I know that I’m for you.

And there is no place I won’t go
If I must go there so you can see the love I have to show.
And there is nothing I won’t say
If it means that I can take your breath away.

You are beautiful, my love.
You are beautiful, my love.
And there is no one I would rather spend my life with than you.
You are beautiful, my love.
You are beautiful, my love.
And there is no one, there is no one I would rather dream of.

When I think about you smiling sweetly, I am overcome by you.

  • Great that you're sharing the song, and exciting that it's licensed freely!
  • Thanks, Blaise. I'm going to be recording several musical settings of the O Antiphons that a friend and I made for Advent 2009 soon, and I hope to release those in the same way.
  • Cool, looking forward to it!
