Beautiful Thing

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"
