I Feel Beautiful

I feel beautiful Because you love me I water the tomatoes and I think of you No one's ever watered me the way you do I feel beautiful Because you love me I feel like a creature that is sleekly groomed Not some poisoned soul that is alone and doomed I feel beautiful Because you love me I see the clock in shadow and I see your face You and me belong in the same time and place People never celebrate the things they've got Honey without you I wouldn't have a lot I feel beautiful Because you love me Because you love me Yes, we're alive at the same time Like mayflies Like fireflies I've been hanging 'round Covent Garden for you for centuries I've been waiting on Festival Pier for you, honey, for decades I wake up in the morning and I face the East I am in the paws of an enormous beast I feel beautiful Because you love me Because you love me. I am in the jaws of an enormous beast --- I Feel Beautiful - Robyn Hitchcock
