Beautiful Girl

Let me take you to this place
it's not so very far away
to meet the only peace of mind
Just follow me and take my hand
write a memo in the sand
sign you name and...
Come into my world
I'll be your beautiful girl
To sparkle like the water in the sky
Come into my world
I'll be your beautiful girl
This beautiful girl who's shining inside
The wind that whispers in you ear
Makes you laugh at the things you hear
You say you're happy as can be
Let's take a walk down to the shore
to find the memories from before
so sign you name and......
Come into my world
I'll be your beautiful girl
To sparkle like the diamond in the sky
Come into my world
I'll be your beautiful girl
This beautiful girl
who's shining from inside
Come into my world
I'll be your beautiful girl
To sparkle like the water in the sky
Come into my world
I'll be your beautiful girl
This beautiful girl
who's shining from inside
This beautiful girl
