Lyrics Beautiful Thing - Hayes Carll
Columbus
Avenue
and
Eighty-Seventh
Street
My
heart
was
racin'
when
I
got
the
word
that
we
would
meet
Awe
babe,
it
was
a
beautiful
thing
A
summer
thunderstorm,
we
had
to
run
and
hide
An
empty
phone
booth,
tangled
up
and
stoppin'
time
Awe
babe,
it
was
a
beautiful
thing
The
world
stopped
turning
every
time
I
heard
you
call
my
name
I
had
a
feeling
that
nothing's
gonna
be
the
same
You
were
a
bon
vivant,
I
was
a
libertine
We
lit
a
fire
like
neither
one
of
us
had
ever
seen
Awe
babe,
it
was
a
beautiful
thing
That
size-two
pencil
skirt
a-ridin'
up
your
thigh
Back
of
a
taxicab,
good
lord,
you're
blowin'
my
mind
Awe
babe,
it
was
a
beautiful
thing
I
hate
to
tell
ya,
but
I
think
we
might
have
caused
a
scene
Let
'em
all
stare,
'cause
it
really
don't
matter
to
me
You've
been
living
like
a
queen
for
a
long,
long
time
I
wonder,
could
I
be
your
king?
Would
you
be
my
bride?
Then
came
the
twelfth
of
May,
it
was
a
big
affair
You
wore
the
perfect
dress
and
everyone
we
love
was
there
Awe
babe,
it
was
a
beautiful
thing
I
said,
"hey
now
babe,
it
was
a
beautiful
thing"
