Young and Beautiful

Martin Sexton


Young and beautiful 
Say what was your name 
Taken by the clothes you wear 
And the games that you play 
Black leather jacket and high heel boots 
I see you out on the scene 
Know how to party and play the part 
Of a rock and roll queen 
Yes you do 
Oh but young and beautiful 
Where is the love that you had as a 
Young and beautiful 
Sent from heaven above you were so free and 
Young and beautiful 
Tell me now where is the pride that you hide so deep inside 
Do you hide it away for a rainy day 
Through my green eyes of envy 
With a gut wrenching greed 
I place you out on a pedestal 
Then I planted my seed, my love 
Out on Melrose Ave 
Out on Newbury Street 
Young and beautiful 
Where is the love that you had as a 
Young and beautiful 
Sent from heaven above you were so free and wild 
Young and beautiful 
Tell me where is the child that you hide so deep inside 
Does she hide away for some rainy day 
In my dreams last night you were a scared little child 
Perfection and grace held your big disguise 
It was draped on the bedpost there 
Beside your empty glass 
And the silence held the lock tight on the door 
Kept you safe from the world anymore 
Is it all just a game that you play 
To be so young and beautiful 
So young and beautiful 
You're so young and so beautiful 
I hear the clock tick tock, tick tock, ticking and tocking away 
So young and beautiful baby and so fine 
Your so young and beautiful, and you're so fine 
And everyone knows that only in my dreams 
Are you ever gonna be mine 
So young and beautiful baby and so fine
