How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you
[Bridge:]
My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind
[Chorus:]
‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard
How many times has a song evoked such an emotion inside of you that you not only can’t get it out of your head, but it carries you through the bad parts of your week? I love this song by John Legend. It was introduced to me at the 2014 Grammy’s this year. A year filled with shock value songs and a gay men and women’s wedding ceremony. Among all the creative hullabaloo was just a simple and beautiful love song, sung with passion and piano to the one he loved sitting in the front row spotlighted. It was such a tender moment. You could hear a pin drop. I loved it. John Legend, a smart kid who started high school at age 12 and graduated 4 years later and went on to Penn State. He formed many choral singing groups that he was the musical director of. He is superbly talented. His lyrics ring so close to my heart. I think he’s a musical genius. I wish he’d come to Salt Lake City. Thanks John Legend for the beauty you add to my world. You make my day.
