In the eyes of the beholder   There's beauty in everything   It all depends on just how hard you?re looking   That gets you what life brings      So I really don't mind waiting   Though you?re half a world away   It's remembering your silly smile   That gets me through the day      I read fifteen chapters of a   Real slow book today   And I noticed for a short time   That I forgot you'd gone away      Through two hole pots of coffee   I washed the dishes and I cleaned the shelves   Then I thought I heard you tell me   To stop feeling sorry for myself      So some, they, they talk of cease fire   Or heading for higher ground   Like a frog that jumps to water lilies   You?re the safest thing I've found      And if you weren't so beautiful   I would love you just the same   You'd be a rose by any other name      I know I could have had a life of sandy beaches   Champagne and top shelf wine   But 'cos life doesn't last forever   I chose you and got it right the first time      We'll make hay while the sun shines   And love 'til the evening fades   And that beats riches   It's a better life we've made, so while      So some, they, they talk of cease fire   Or heading for higher ground   Like a frog that jumps to water lilies   You?re the safest thing I've found      And if you weren't so beautiful   I'd love you just the same   You'd be a rose by any other name      So when you get home, boy, look out   I'll show you just what loves all about   There'll be candles and wine   I'll pull down the blind and I'll tell   All our friends that we're out      So some, they, they talk of cease fire   Or heading for higher ground   Like a frog that jumps to water lilies   You?re the safest thing I've found      And if you weren't so beautiful   I'd love you just the same   You'd be a rose by any other name
