I see you're beautiful, oh beautiful
On Monday afternoons.
You drown inside the pool
Of abandoned sorrow,
On Monday afternoons.
Oh you say breathe slowly, calm down.
This boat is coming to a halt now.
Lift your head up, leave me behind,
My pain is not your fault.
So let go of me,
And you'll be free
Oh I am only beautiful
On Monday afternoons
And I say you don't see,
This is vanity.
Oh you are always beautiful,
A flower in bloom.
I will not leave you here, oh beautiful
For you will surely die.
And if I leave you here, alone and cold,
I'll miss you, I will die.
Oh you say breathe slowly, calm down.
This boat is coming to a halt now.
Lift your head up, leave me behind,
My pain is not your fault.
So let go of me,
And you'll be free
Oh I am only beautiful
On Monday afternoons.
And I say you don't see,
This is vanity.
You are always beautiful,
A flower in bloom.
Within me, without me,
All good things must last.
Hold my hand through the darkness,
And together we can last.
So let go of me,
And you'll be free
I am only beautiful
On Monday afternoons.
And I say you don't see,
This is vanity.
Oh you are always beautiful,
A flower in bloom.
No, I am only beautiful
On Monday afternoons.
