  • Darryl:

    My god! Look at you!

    One of a kind, grander than grand: free as the wind,
    sculpting boobies in the sand.
    I'm usually not so forward: no, its true!
    But I'd be hard pressed to think of anything
    I'd rather do than surrender to the ecstasy, the artistry,
    the mystery of you Alexandra; the mystery of you...
    I have a gift, a fact I'm forced to confess.
    I have a knack for spotting genius, I guess.
    I have an eye for seeing past the B.S:
    and what some consider boring,
    I consider worth exploring.

    Alex:

    I have an eye for spotting men with designs,
    I have a sense for all the obvious signs.
    And pal, I know when someone's feeding me lines:
    don't feel too bad; you had your try.
    You have the touch, but not with me: I have an eye...

    Darryl:

    As do I...

    Both:

    Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder,
    no disguise can conceal your repertoire.
    Passions rise, and the alibis grow bolder:
    still the eye of this beholder sees you for who you are.

    Darryl:

    And you: you are the rays of the sun!
    You: you are the artist, the spirit, the clay all in one. Allow me...

    Smoother and fuller and softer and sounder

    Both:

    Sweeter and rounder and warmer and wise.
    Bolder the truth that transcends the disguise.

    Alex:

    The battles lost: what can I do? And now the truth comes shining through

    Both:

    Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder:
    and how clearly I behold the beauty in you! Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
