Franklin Bruno — beautiful right now lyrics

Lyrics

She says that beauty is a curse
I always answer, «I could think of much worse»
She tells me glamour is a bore
I always tell her I could bore her much more
You’re beautiful right now
But if you’d care to change that
I think time can find a way to arrange that
He says his talent’s his to waste
How will he feel to find that it’s been misplaced?
It comes so easily to some
What will you do upon the day it won’t come?
You may be brilliant now
Perhaps you’re unaware that
Time is sure to find a way to repair that
If you’re tired of being young and healthy
If there’s something you’d prefer
It seems to me there can’t be a simpler wish to grant
Just keep an eye upon the calendar
You’re beautiful right now
But if you’d care to change that
I think time can find a way
As the seasons grind away
I think time can find, find a way to arrange that
Too soon old and too late wise
Don’t you wish that we could strike a compromise?
