Beautiful Thing
Composer(s): Richard Manuel - Rick Danko
First recording by: The Hawks - 1967



I've told you once, now you should know
The reason that I'm coming down
There ain't no time to repeat again
Just need to bring it around

We had a beautiful thing going
You couldn't see things my way
We had a beautiful thing going
Something just got in our way

And I told you once that it was rough
I looked on you as my friend
Because that did not seem to be good enough
And now it's time to begin

We've got a beautiful thing going
I hope that's the way it will stay
We've got a beautiful thing going
Nothing can stand in our way
