the cure - how beautiful you are [bob clearmountain remix] lyrics

[verse 1]
you want to know why i hate you, well, i’ll try and explain
remember that day in paris when we wandered through the rain
and promised to each other that we’d always think the same
and dreamed that dream to be two souls as one
and stopped just as the sun set and waited for the night
outside a glittering building of glittering glass and burning light

[verse 2]
and in the road before us stood a weary, greyish man
who held a child upon his back, a small boy by the hand
the three of them were dressed in rags and thinner than the air
and all six eyes stared fixedly on you

[chorus 1]
the father’s eyes said “beautiful, how beautiful you are!”
the boy’s eyes said “how beautiful, she shimmers like a star!”
the child’s eyes uttered nothing but a mute and utter joy
and filled my heart with shame for us at the way we are
at the way we are

[verse 3]
i turned to look at you, to read my thoughts upon your face
and gazed so deep into your eyes so beautiful and strange
until you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
“i hate these people staring, make them go away from me!”
[chorus 2]
the father’s eyes said “beautiful, how beautiful you are!”
the boy’s eyes said “how beautiful, she shimmers like a star!”
the child’s eyes uttered nothing but a quiet and utter joy
and stilled my heart with sadness for the way we are
for the way we are

[outro]
and this is why i hate you, and how i understand
that no one ever knows or loves another
or loves another
