Down a cold and darkened hallway
|
A doctor stood alone
|
With a young and frightened father
|
Who knew something was wrong
|
He said, Son this isn't easy
|
But we really need to talk
|
So he put his arm around him
|
And they began to walk
|
|
He said your wife is finally sleeping
|
She just needs to be alone right now
|
And your baby, well she's healthy
|
But there's something you should know
|
Son, she's slightly less than perfect
|
And there's nothing we could do
|
So before you go to see her
|
I thought I'd talk to you
|
|
As the young man held the warm
|
And sleeping bundle to his chest
|
He saw the imperfections
|
And although he tried his best
|
He couldn't stop the tears from falling
|
As he held his little girl
|
And in a low and trembling voice
|
He gently said these words
|
|
You're beautiful in every way, so beautiful
|
How I've waited for this day
|
If the world was offered to me
|
I just couldn't make the trade
|
Cause you're beautiful
|
|
When I think of how I've fallen
|
And all the times I've tried
|
To hide my imperfections
|
From my Father's eyes
|
There's a voice that still is calling
|
Deep inside of me
|
And I can always hear it
|
When I get on my knees
|
|
You're beautiful in every way, so beautiful
|
How I've waited for this day
|
When the world was offered to me
|
I just couldn't make the trade
|
Cause you're beautiful
|
You'd be amazed at how some things matter
|
And some things don't
|
When you're seen through
|
The eyes of God
|
Though we try to hide our darkness
|
And fill our dreams
|
He only sees what's in your heart
|
|
And you're beautiful, in every way
|
So beautiful
|
How I've waited for this day
|
When the world was offered to me
|
I just couldn't make the trade
|
Cause you're beautiful
|
|
I know God knows, you're beautiful
|
You're beautiful
|
You're beautiful
|
You're beautiful
|
