But Beautiful - Billie Holiday, Ray Ellis, Billie Holiday, Ray Ellis, His Orchestra

Love is funny, or it’s sad

Or it’s quiet, or it’s mad

It’s a good thing, or it’s bad

But beautiful…

Beautiful to take a chance

And if you fall, you fall

And I’m thinking

I wouldn’t mind at all

Love is tearful, or it’s gay

It’s a problem, or it’s play

It’s a heartache either way

But beautiful…

And I’m thinking, if you were mine

I’d never let you go

And that would be but beautiful

I know

~interlude~

And I’m thinking, if you were mine

I’d never let you go

And that would be but beautiful

That would be but beautiful…

I know
