about

Thad Cockrell and I wrote this song together. It's beautiful, one of the most romantic songs I've been involved with. You can hear Thad's version as well on his album, To Be Loved.

lyrics

Beauty Has A Name

Don't think, there's nothing I won't do
I'd gather up the stars
I'd walk the avenue in the cold rain
There's nothing I won't do

I've got some things I'd like to say
When you walk into the room
My troubles seem to fade
I'm helpless
Defenseless

Wonders of all wonders
Everything has changed
Ever since I met you girl
Beauty has a name
Beauty has a name

Now I'd wait a hundred years or more
Just to hold your hand, to open up the door
To your world
It's better than this world

Cause I've seen so many pretty things
Vienna in the snow, St. Peters in the spring
But nowhere
Compared to you

Wonders of all wonders
Everything has changed
Ever since I met you well
Beauty has a name
Beauty has a name

Some will try to cut you down
Leave you stranded by the road
They say that nothing matters
That's just the way it goes
But I'm on my knees tonight
I just need to get it right
You're my lightening rod, you're proof there's god,
And even if there's not

Wonders of all wonders
Everything has changed
Ever since I met you girl well
Beauty has a name
Beauty has a name
