you re beautiful so silently it lies beneath a shade of blue it struck me so violently when i looked at you but others pass they never pause to feel that magic in your hand to me you re like a wild rose they never understand why i cried for you and the sky cried for you and when you went i became a hopeless drifter but this life was not for you though i learned from you that beauty need only be a whisper i ll cross the sea for a different world with your treasure a secret for me to hold in many years they may forget this love of ours or that we met they may not know how much you meant to me i cried for you and the sky cried for you and when you went i became a hopeless drifter but this life was not for you though i learned from you that beauty need only be a whisper without you now i see how fragile the world can be and i know you ve gone away but in my heart you ll always stay  i cried for you and the sky cried for you and when you went i became a hopeless drifter but this life was not for you though i learned from you that beauty need only be a whisper that beauty need only be a whisper
