Beautiful, Silently

Another bittersweet beautiful song.

I Cried For You
Vocal: Katie Melua

You're beautiful, so silently
it lies beneath a shade of blue.
It struck me so violently when I looked at you.

But others pass, they never pause
to feel that magic in your hand.
To me you're like a wild rose;
They never understand -- why

I cried for you,
and the sky cried for you,
and when you went I became a hopeless drifter.

But this life was not for you,
though I learned from you
that beauty need only be a whisper.


I'll cross the sea for a different world,
with your treasure, a secret for me to hold.

In many years they may forget
this love of ours or that we met;
They may not know how much you meant to me.

I cried for you,
and the sky cried for you,
and when you went I became a hopeless drifter.

But this life was not for you,
though I learned from you
that beauty need only be a whisper.


Without you, now I see
how fragile the world can be.
And I know you've gone away,
but in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you,
and the sky cried for you,
and when you went I became a hopeless drifter.

But this life was not for you,
though I learned from you
that beauty need only be a whisper,
that beauty need only be a whisper.
