Marc Cohn - One Thing of Beauty lyrics

rate me

Gimme just one thing of beauty

To last me for all of my years

Gimme just one thing of beauty

And wash away all of my tears

I won't need to get no religion

When I throw all my burdens away

So gimme just one thing of beauty

And I'll stand at this alter and pray

Gimme one thing of beauty

I need one thing of beauty

Baby one thing of beauty

It's hard times down on the corner

Yeahthere's loneliness out on the street

I meaneverywhere you go there's someone you know

Who suffered some kind of defeat

But there's dreams being dreamed down in the doorway

Of all these places nobody goes

Yeah the ones that just so many [are] praising

They're the ones now that nobody knows

They just need one thing of beauty

Maybe one thing of beauty

They need one thing of beauty

(that's right...that's all they need)

You can keep every diamond and ruby

You can forget all those pharaohs and kings

Gimme just one thing of beauty

Take away all these material things

Gimme one thing of beauty

Since it all turns to ashes and dust

Gimme one thing of beauty

Yeahthe rest of you can do what you must

But I need.... (chorus)

There's hard times...

There's loneliness down on the street

But all we need is just one thing....

When you go way down

You're looking for one thing....
