You're the only rose in a garden of dead;
oh, how beautiful you are.

You are the bright star on a dull night;
oh, how beautiful you are.

You're the rainbow on a stormy day;
oh, how beautiful you are.

You are the butterfly in the mist;
oh, how you take my breath away.

You're the streak of color in a shade of grey;
oh, how you take my breath away.

You are the light at the end of the tunnel;
oh, how you take my breath away...
