But Beautiful

Jimmy van Heusen & Johnny Burke, 1947

Triplicate sessions, Capitol Recording Studio B, Los Angeles CA - February 2016  

Love is funny or it's sad
Or it's quiet or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad, but beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance and if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all.

Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way, but beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know.

Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way, but it's beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know.
