What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

LAST BEAUTIFUL GIRL

This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back

Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all of the wasted days
The memory of your face, I can't help thinkin'

Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together, where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking

It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last, beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

So tell me one more time
How you're sorry about the way this all went down
You needed to find your space, you needed to still be friends
You needed me to

Call you if I ever couldn't keep it all together you'd comfort me
You tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking

It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world
Last beautiful girl in the world

It's over now, I've gone without 'cuz you're everyone else's girl
It seems to me, you'll always be everyone else's girl
Everyone else's girl

This will all fall down like everything in the world
This too must end and all of the words we said
We can't take 'em back

And it won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last, beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl

It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last, beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

The last beautiful girl in the world
You are the last beautiful girl in the world
Beautiful girl
