He was beautiful, beautiful to my eyes, From the moment I saw him sun filled the skies. He was so, so beautiful, beautiful just to hold, In my dreams he was springtime, winter was cold.
How could I tell him what I so clearly could see? Though I longed for him, another trusted me completely so I never could be free.
Aah but it was beautiful, knowing now that he cared, I will always remember times that we shared. Now it's all over still the feelings linger on, For my dream keeps returning now that he's gone.
For it was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful to be loved.
1973年,Cleo Laine 為這首歌填詞並重新起名為《He Was Beautiful》。歌詞講述了歌手對一個人的愛戀,他是如此美麗,讓歌手無法自拔,但歌手已經有了另一個人的承諾,無法自由選擇。即使他們的關係已經結束,歌手仍然無法忘記那段美好的時光。整首歌曲表達了對愛情美好回憶的珍視和懷念之情。
