Lyrics
You’re beautiful
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I’m sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won’t lose no sleep on that,
‘Cause I’ve got a plan.
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you
Curiosities
Blunt said on VH1′s The Vspot that he wrote this song about seeing his ex-girlfriend with a new man who he didn’t know about on a train in the London underground. He says that they shared a lifetime in the brief eye contact. The words came to him all at once.
In a February edition of Radio Times, James Blunt responded to a question about the girl he sings about: “The girl in question is my ex-girlfriend and she’s with her new man. I’ve always said that I haven’t seen her since and then the press tried to find her. I’m not bothered enough to start acknowledging or denying whether they found her.”
The girl that inspired this song is Dixie Chassay, who works in the casting department on films. Blunt mentions her in the thank you note on his first album.
In the radio edit, the line “I was f–king high” is replaced with “I was flying high.”
The Daily Record March 22, 2008 asked Blunt if he was bored with this monster hit. The singer-songwriter replied: “If I had the radio on all the time and they kept playing that song then yes, I’d probably turn it off. But do I still like the song? Absolutely. It’s a really personal song about a moment which meant a great deal to me. And I’m sure plenty of guys have seen their ex-girlfriend with a new man at some stage. It bites into you and I captured that in a really honest song. I love that song for capturing that moment. I’m saddened by what it reminds me of, and I appreciate what it did which is advertise an album I’d made.”
