If the world knew the beauty I see in you
You'd be overcome with suitors.
The great trees would bend their boughs
The rivers turn their direction
And the mountains would send boulders as spies

My heart and mind are picky eaters
But you have captivated me -
I could eat you by mistake.

If the world knew the beauty I see in you
You'd be overcome with suitors.
With all your bright shiny thoughts,
The stars would turn down their lights
To see you better

If you knew the beauty I see in you
Would you still find refuge in hesitation,
Would you boldly ask your suitors to dance -
or would you blush with modesty?

She told me I am so cold -
But my heart and mind are just picky eaters.
I have seen your beauty and covet it -
If the world knew the beauty I see in you
The world would eat you by mistake too.
