Lyrics

My life is bril liant.

My life is bril liant,

my love is pure.

I saw an an gel,

of that I’m sure.

She smiled (F)at me on the sub way,

she was (C)with an oth er man.

But (Dm7)I won’t lose no sleep all night, ’cause I’ve got a plan.

You’re beau ti (Csus)ful.

You’re beau ti ful.

You’re beau ti (C)ful, it’s (F)true.

I (Bb)saw your face

in a (F)crowd ed

(Dm7)place.

And I (Bb)don’t know what to

(Dm)do,

’cause I’ll (Bb)nev er be

with (F)you.

Yes, she (F)caught my eye

as I (C)walked on by.

She could (Dm)see from my face that I was

high.

And I don’t think that I’ll (C)see her a gain,

but (Dm)we shared a mo ment that will last till the end.

(F)you.

La la (Dm)la la.

La la (Dm)la la

(Gm7)la.

You’re beau ti (Csus)ful.

You’re beau ti ful.

You’re beau ti (C)ful, it’s (F)true.

There (Bb)must be an (C)an gel with a (F)smile on (C)her (Dm7)face

when she (Bb)thought up that I (C)should be with (F)you.

But it’s (Bb)time to face

the (Dm)truth;

I will (Bb)nev er be

with (F)you.
