lyrics

You are too much
Much much too much
Late at night
Early morning
Every single every day

You’re beauty from afar
Beauty from afar
Beauty from afar
From afar

I am discovered
Newly uncovered
For you only
You will not be lonely
I am inside you
I am beside you
I’m singing in your ear
Singing in your ear
And you hear what you want to hear
What you want to hear

Hands are warm
Whisper here
Near and far
Far and near
Strange obscure yet strangely dear

You’re beauty from afar
Beauty from afar
Beauty from afar
From afar
I’m singing in your ear
Singing in your ear
And you hear what you want to hear
And hat you want to hear
Is beauty from afar
Beauty from afar
Beauty from afar
Beauty from afar
From afar afar afar

Hard to pick a fave from this record but gun to my head I'd have to say In the Stars for the Brian Wilson vibe and most excellent vocals. chrometop
