A Beautiful Thing
by Anita Wellington
Verse 1
The first time I laid eyes on you
It was nothin' special
And the first time that I heard you speak
It was nothin' new
I was searching for so many years
For someone to settle for
I never dreamed that God had something for me
As wonderful as you
Chorus
Sometimes God doesn't send
A thousand angels down to guide you
He might not make the stars fall from the sky
To show you
And sometimes He just whispers
"You're on your way,
To a beautiful thing."
Verse 2
Bright neon signs and snow-white angels
Could not compare
To the hint in your smile
Or the sun in your hair
And in a way I thank God
That I couldn't see
Cuz there was so much joy in realizing
That you were made for me
Chorus
Sometimes God doesn't send
A thousand angels down to guide you
He might not make the stars fall from the sky
To show you
And sometimes He just whispers
"You're on your way,
To a beautiful thing."
Bridge
Right under my nose
There all the time
How could I know that He'd make you mine?
Right here right now I promise you
The rest of my life I will stand by you...
Chorus
Sometimes God doesn't send
A thousand angels down to guide you
He might not make the stars fall from the sky
To show you
And sometimes He just whispers
"You're on your way,"
Yeah sometimes He just whispers
"You're on your way,
To a beautiful, a beautiful thing."
