Story Behind The Song

You should never give too much away about a song, for listeners are then robbed of their expectations, deprived of their power to imagine, to dream, to get inside the song. It's like disecting a flower, pulling it apart to see what it's made from. In the end, you don't have a flower anymore. So I hope you get joy from this song.

Song Description

Elegy.

Lyrics

BEAUTIFUL FEET

LOVE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN
BRIGHTER THAN OUR BRIGHTEST DREAMS
HAS COME TO OUR CITY STREETS
THANKS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET

WARM LOVE SO BRILLIANT
SHINES OUT OF EVERY WINDOW
THROUGH THE NIGHT 'TIL GREY DAWN'S PEEP
KISSES YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET

YOU WERE THE BOY WE ALL WANTED TO BE
A PETER PAN CHILD ON AN OCEAN OF DREAMS
THROUGH ALL THE HIGHS, ADVERSITIES, JOYS AND DEFEATS
YOU HAD THE WORLD AT YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET

MANCHESTER UNITED
A CITY DIVIDED
IT'S A SMALL STEP BUT ONE GIANT LEAP
THANKS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET

THE GAME'S A MORE MAGICAL PLACE
ALL FOR THE GLORY, THE GRACE
WHEN YOU DEFIED GRAVITY
WITH WINGS 'NEATH YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET

YOU WERE THE BOY WE ALL WANTED TO BE
A PETER PAN CHILD ON AN OCEAN OF DREAMS
THROUGH ALL THE HIGHS, ADVERSITIES, JOYS AND DEFEATS
YOU HAD THE WORLD AT YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET

YOU WERE THE BOY WE ALL WANTED TO BE
A PETER PAN CHILD ON AN OCEAN OF DREAMS
YOUR MAMA, SHE'S CALLING YOU, IT'S TIME TO SLEEP
FOR THE BOY WITH THE SMILE AND THE BEAUTIFUL FEET

SWEET GEORGIE BEST
YOU'RE HOME NOW, AT REST
LONG MAY THE ANGELS KEEP
WATCH OVER YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET
IN AWE OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET
THANK GOD FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL FEET
