YOU'RE SO PRETTY

A sunset night on Broadway
Hear the band through beer and smoke
My lifetime plans are shattered 
All my dreams are just a joke
Alone I sit as I fight back tears 
While I try to carry on
So I close my eyes and I bow my head
Getting' lost in every song

And when you touched me and asked me for a dance
I was confused and passed up my first chance
But you're pretty.  Ooh so very pretty
And my heart just wants to cry
You're pretty, ooh so very pretty
Gonna give it one more try.

Another week passed quickly.  Now my attitude has changed
Forgot about my sorrows in my quest to learn your name
My friends tell me that you've asked for me and I can't believe my ears
Would you talk to me or just say no?  Can I conquer all my fears?

But every time I try for conversation
My mind goes blank and all I see
Is you're pretty, ooh so very pretty
And my heart just wants to cry
You're pretty, ooh so very pretty 
Gonna give it one more try

I finally got some time with you and we talked all through the night
The first time in my forty years that something's felt so right
I look at you.  I'm so scared it's true.  You have changed my very life
But I can't deny what I see inside your eyes.  I ask you to be my wife

We're at the altar, I've given you my vows
You say I do, but all I see right now
Is, you're pretty, ooh so very pretty
And my heart just wants to cry
You're pretty, ooh so very pretty 
Gonna give it one more try.
