Beauty Only Runs Skin Deep

He gently lifted her chin To look into her eyes She pulled away so bashfully Ashamed of all her flaws See many times before She'd wanted to give love a chance But all the guys she picked Never gave her a second glance They wanted much prettier She thought herself plain So in her heart she'd never be good enough Until this moment, until this very day He lifted her head gently So he could speak words from his heart He said beauty only runs skin deep It's the inside that sparks the fire I've waited for a thousand years For you to come into my life I wished for you long ago Upon a shooting star You are my perfect match in every way I'll tell you how I know My heart skips beats when you're around Your eyes speak to my soul I searched all over Heaven and earth Just a dwindling roaming soul The day I met you my love Is the day my heart found it's home
