Too Beautiful For Words

Mm. (D)Mm.

I've always been the (Em7)kind of gal that (A7sus)had a lot to (D)say.

I says the things that's (Em7)on my mind,

too (A7sus)dumb to shy (D)away.

But you (Asus2)hush my mouth and still me with a (G)song I've never heard.

I guess that means that (E7)you are just too (D)beautiful for words.

I've seen this life from (Em7)high and low and (D)all that's in between.

I danced with dukes, (Em7)crooned with counts,

been (D)courted like a queen.

But (A5)when I see what's (A)in your heart,

(Gsus2)all the rest is blurred.

The grace you bring (E7)into this world's too (D)beautiful for words.

You (G)hide your head under your (B)wing just (Em)like (Bm)a (Cmaj7)little bird.

Oh, (E7)don't you know you're beautiful,

too (G)beautiful for (D)words.

(E7)Oo, Celie, you're too (A7sus)beautiful for (D)words.
