Beautiful Boy Lyrics

Gillian Welch Beautiful Boy

[Verse 1]
Oh, beautiful boy
What did I do to win your love?
I didn't mean to make you cry
What'll I do when morning comes?

[Verse 2]
You, you tremble and shake
Like an autumn leaf expecting to fall
Almost think you saw my mind
But you don't know me at all

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm afraid of everything
Everything that romance brings
Freely givin' gifts that you can't repay
Sad goodbyes in darkened homes
And telephones, and most of all
I'm scared I'm gonna break your heart someday

[Verse 3]
You, you ain't to blame
Crazy love's got a mind of its own
And you can't fight it once it starts
You can't help it if it don't
[Chorus]
So I'm afraid of everything
Everything that romance brings
Freely givin' gifts that you can't repay
The sad goodbyes in darkеned homes
Telеphones, and most of all
I'm scared I'm gonna break your heart someday

[Outro]
I'm scared I'm gonna break your heart someday
