Published by auria cortes under Broadway

Listen to the song: You not ugly. You the grace of God if us ever see it.

You don’t believe me.

Miss Celie . . . Miss Celie, look here. Look at yourself.
I’ve always been the kind of gal

That had a lot to say

I says the things that’s on my mind

Too dumb to shy away

But you hush my mouth and still me

With a song I’ve never heard

I guess that means that you are just

Too beautiful for words

I’ve seen this life from high and low

And all that’s in between

I danced with dukes, crooned with counts,

Been courted like a queen

But when I see what’s in your heart,

All the rest is blurred

The grace you bring into this world’s

Too beautiful for words

You hide your head under your wing
Just like a little bird
Oh, don’t you know you’re beautiful,

Too Beautiful for words?

Celie, You’re too beautiful for words.
