Lyrics

I once saw a candle burning bright, its flame a blue-orange dancin' act
Mesmerized me all through the night, all that's left is a puddle of wax
One morning I saw the sun rise up, in a sky like a technicolor place mat
Was gone 'fore I could tell a soul, was it any less beautiful for all that?

We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful, too?
We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful too
We were gorgeous, uniquely, and isn't that beautiful, too?
We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful, too...

On a passing breeze I heard a song, the delicate melody stirred my soul
The air was still and it was gone, still I treasure the feelings it evoked
A lover once whispered in my ear, just what I don't remember anymore
Those sighs and secrets oh so dear, are they any less precious all in all?

We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful, too?
We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful too
We were gorgeous, uniquely, and isn't that beautiful, too?
We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful, too...

Have you ever felt a soft caress warm your skin like a sunny day?
A fleeting touch it may have been, but would you rather she had backed away?
Have you felt the rhythm of a heart, pulsing life through someone's chest?
This too has its time and place, has no less beauty when it's come to rest

We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful, too?
We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful too
We were gorgeous, uniquely, and isn't that beautiful, too?
We were gorgeous, jus' briefly, and isn't that beautiful, too...
