The Most Beautiful Thing

Will it be a pavement or a sidewalk
When I finally lay my eyes on you
Someone I’ve already loved
Or will you find your way out of the blue?

Will it be my flat or your apartment
When I finally realise I do?
Will we meet on Baker Street
Or find ourselves on Melrose Avenue?

I don’t know who you are
But I’ll save you a seat
Hang my coat on a chair next to me
I tried to reassure the waiter
Say you’re down the street
He laughed at me
So here’s to you
The most beautiful thing
That I have never seen

Someone on a screen asked me a question
Something about what love means to me
Maybe it’s just circumstance
Or general compatibility

I don’t know who you are
But I’ll save you a seat
Hang my coat on a chair next to me
I tried to reassure the waiter
Say you’re down the street
He laughed at me
So here’s to you
The most beautiful thing
That I have never seen
