With glasses on your nose
As I stand back and watch you
Every move is like a pose.

You don't like being photographed,
Drawn, or even studied.
And you don't believe it when I say,
"You're more gorgeous than anybody"

You don't try to be perfect,
Against this fact, you would bet.
But the less you try to be perfect,
The closer you seem to get.

Your hair's down from its ponytail,
The glasses, nowhere to be found,
And when I look into your eyes
I can hear my own heart pound.

Your beauty is a natural thing
Something you don't try to do.
But this might be accentuated,
By how deep I'm in love with you.
