Arthur Lewis - Something Beautiful

There is a hunger in the back of my mind
A little something I've been trying to find
Well it's hard to discover, and it's hard to define
But when I find it, I'll know that it's mine

It’s not a fear of being alone
And it’s not that I need someone here in the morning
It’s just a feeling that I want something more
Tell you what I am looking for
I want

CHORUS
Something beautiful (3x)
Something beautiful tonight

See you sitting in my subway car
Catch myself staring, just want to know who you are
And honey, how can I let you know that I'm alright?
What can I do to prove to you that I'm not gonna bite?

It's just that…

I want to ask about the book that you're reading
Here and now a little moment, but I know it's misleading
And you brush me off because you think that you know
What I'm after, this chapter is closed
We missed

CHORUS

Saturday night, and it's the same old thing
The world is full of promise, and I'm ready to swing
Sing a song about the places I could see tonight,
The people I could be tonight
Excited by the evening light,

But now it's...

One in the morning, and I'm walking the street
Looking for something in the faces of the people I meet
I'm going down; it's an ugly scene.
Does anybody know what I mean? Have you seen?

CHORUS

And every day, a little mystery
Will I find this magic moment that I'm longing to see?
My friend, she says I'm looking at it all wrong
I say... you would too if you'd been looking this long

She tells me:

“I tell someone, I say ‘I'm listening to you,’
And I know that I've found it when he's listening too”
And I smile, cause it's true,
And I’ve started to see
That the thing that I wanted found me
I found…

CHORUS
