Lyrics

You Tell Me I'm Beautiful

Words and Music Randi Driscoll

We were young we were free, we were only sixteen in the back of your brother's old truck.
We went over a bump and the truck hit mud and damn if we didn't all get stuck.
You helped me jump out and I fell flat down on the ground.

You picked me up and you brushed me off, and I'd didn't know what you'd say
With my skin red from blushing and my heart rushing, cause I didn't want a hair out of place.
You wiped off the dirt, and gave me your shirt, and that's when I heard you say...

You told me ....I'm beautiful

We were all running late to the church that day and the forecast called for rain
The flowers were all wrong, and my dress was too long, and the preacher was a good hour late.
When we finally made it down the aisle and I say your face

I started my vows, but nothing came out and my I felt myself tear up.
And my mascara ran down my painted face, and my nose began to run.
With my eyes all puffy you lifted my chin and said honey, you're the one...

And you told me ......I'm Beautiful


In the hospital gown, with the sweat running down, you said girl you're doing so good.
You wiped the tears from my eyes, and said I know that you're tired but you should see how pretty you look.
When we heard her cry for the very first time, for the very first you said "babe she looks just like you,
You said, My God, She's beautiful too.


And I can't remember a place or a time when you weren't right here by my side.
Cheering me on as I'm singing my songs, and telling me everything's fine..
My God I wonder where I'd be without you---


And when my mind is gone me and my memories fade and I can barely speak your name.
My legs are tired and my hands won't write, and my hair has all turned gray.
You smile at me and say, I can't see one single wrinkle on that face...

You tell me, I'm beautiful.
You tell me, I'm beautiful.
You tell me....
I'm beautiful.
