Artist: The Cure Title: How Beautiful You Are Album: Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (bonus disc: Rarities 1986-1987)
You want to know why I hate you Well I'll try and explain Remember that day in paris When we wandered through the rain And promised to each other That we'll always think the same And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one
And stopped just as the sun set And waited for the night Aside a gliterring building Of glittering glass and burning light
And in the road before us Stood a weary grayish man He held a child upon his back A small boy by the hand The three of them were dressed in rags And thinner than air And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!" The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She shimmers like a star!" The child's eyes eyes said nothing But a mute and utter joy And filled my heart with sadness At the way we are
I turned to look at you To read my thoughts upon your face And gazed so deeply into your eyes So beautiful and strange Till you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream "I hate these people staring Make them go away from here"
The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!" The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She glitters like a star!" The child's eyes eyes said nothing But a quiet and utter joy And filled my heart with shamefulness At the way we are
And this is why I hate you And how I understand That no one ever knows or loves another Or loves another
