Oh she is so beautiful
Lord she is so fine
Yes she is so beautiful
And she says
She's mine
For her face it shines
In the morning glow
And the outside world
Will never know
What she means to me
And how much I owe to her
Oh she is so beautiful
She is so divine
Yes she is so beautiful
And she's mine
She's mine
She can make me smile
As we start the day
And to hear her laugh
Takes my breath away
Will I ever find
Any words to say to her
Oh she is so beautiful
Lord she is so fine
Yes she is so beautiful
And she's mine
She says she's mine
