When you were born, the angels sighed in delight
They never thought they’d see such a beautiful sight
You took the breath and the world was right again
Tears were shed, how we had been blessed
And your love, it shines so bright
You bring me back to life, back to life
You make everything right, oh
And your love, it shines so bright
You bring me back to life, back to life
You got a light inside, light inside
God made you beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
God made you beautiful, beautiful, you’re beautiful
Well look at me, you were brought into my life
I kiss those little feet and watch for your perfect smile
And when it comes, the world stops in your eyes
I found love, I found peace of the purest kind
And your love, it shines so bright
You bring me back to life, back to life
You make everything right, oh
And your love, it shines so bright
You bring me back to life, back to life
You got a light inside, light inside
God made you beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
God made you beautiful, beautiful, you’re beautiful
Thank God, I get on my knees and pray
Thank God for giving me a life
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, too beautiful
God made you beautiful
God made you beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
God made you beautiful, beautiful, you’re beautiful
