You are too beautiful

my dear, to be true

and I am a fool for beauty

fooled by a feeling

that because I had found you

I could have bound you to me.



You are too beautiful

for one man alone

one lucky fool to be with

when there are other men

with eyes of their own

to see with.



Love does not stand sharing

not if one cares

have you been comparing

my every kiss with theirs?



If on the other hand

I'm faithful to you

it's not from a sense of duty

you are too beautiful

and I am a fool

for beauty.
