Lyrics

BEAUTIFUL LADIES

BEAUTIFUL LADIES TAKE CARE OF THEIR BABIES
IT'S A NEVER ENDING WORK OF LOVE, THEY GIVE OF THEMSELVES
THEY FINISH THE DISHES, SORT AND FOLD THEIR WISHES
AND PUT 'EM WITH THE LINENS, SHOVING 'EM HIGH UP ON THE SHELVES

CHORUS
ALL THE BEAUTIFUL LADIES GATHER THEIR GRACES
BETWEEN CARPOOL AND GOOD NIGHT MOON
THEN AS TIME BRINGS RELEASES THEY SMOOTH OUT THE CREASES
AND DO WHAT THE BEAUTIFUL LADIES DO

SHE WAS FROM THE OLD SCHOOL, FOLLOWED ALL THE POPE'S RULES
STILL SHE HELD A VISION LIKE A CANDLE IN THE NIGHT
PATIENCE IS THE VIRTUE THAT GOT HER TO MACHU PICCHU
SHE TIED HER SPIRIT TO THE SUN AND HUNG ON TO THE LIGHT

REPEAT CHORUS

I CAN FEEL IT HAPPENING, IT'S JUST LIKE I'VE IMAGINED
WORDS ARE RISING FROM MY OLDER SOUL AND ROLLING OFF MY TONGUE
NOW I'M PUTTING THIS OUT THERE IN A VOICE WE MOTHERS ALL SHARE
AND EVERY NOTE IS SWEETER FOR ALL THE LULLABIES I'VE SUNG

REPEAT CHORUS

VAMP
BEAUTIFUL LADIES...
