I was 18 when we first met
Couldn't believe how you took my breath
In your sweatshirt, your converse
You didn't even know you were rockin' my world
Sittin' in line, tryin' to get a coffee
Stealin' looks, you turned around and caught me
I laughed and you smiled and we
Took a chance, I stayed for a while
Ooh, I never saw it comin' but
Ooh, but I had to say somethin'
Hello beautiful, I've never seen you
Before, do you live round here, what's your name?
Beautiful, the way you looked at me
Girl, it took my breath away
And I had to introduce myself, I just had to say
Hello beautiful, beautiful
Hello beautiful
I got your name and I got your number
We sat for hours talkin' to each other
But one night wasn't enough
We were all in, fallin' in love
I tried to see you but your daddy wouldn't let me
He told you, you should just forget me
But what we had was somethin' so real
And he, he didn't know the way I felt
That's the way we feel
Ooh, so I met you in the dark
Ooh, underneath the stars
Hello beautiful, it's good to see you again
I'm glad you found your way down to this river bend
Hello beautiful, it's good to see you again I'm glad you found your way down to this river bend

We don't have long
But I'll take what I can get
Every moment spent with you is worth the consequence
Hello beautiful, beautiful
Hello beautiful, beautiful
And I remember when you called me
And I remember when you called me
And your voice had changed
And I remember when you called me
You told me you were movin' with your dead to another stage
You told me you were movin' with your dead to another stage
And I've been waitin' by this river bend
And I've been waitin' by this river bend
But yeah, I call you every day
But yeah, I call you every day
Just waitin' for that moment when you find your way
Ooh, back to me
Ooh, back to me
Ooh, back to me
Hello beautiful
Hello beautiful
