Every Beautiful Thing

Lyrics

I miss you most when life is good.
The waves light up; I reach for you.
I take a picture, then another—
They don't say what I need them to.

Every "Look at this" I send
Means "I wish you were here" again.

Every beautiful thing makes me think of you.
The sky is full of stars tonight;
I want your face in that same light.
I don't just want the memory,
I want you in it next to me.
Every beautiful thing makes me think of you.

My favorite picture's out of focus.
You made me laugh; I moved the phone.
I don't remember what was funny,
But I still smile when I'm alone.

You turn an ordinary day
Into one I want to save.

Every beautiful thing makes me think of you.
The sky is full of stars tonight;
I want your face in that same light.
I don't just want the memory,
I want you in it next to me.
Every beautiful thing makes me think of you.

If you were here, I'd pull you close,
Your head against my shoulder.
You'd look up at the stars and say,
"Isn't it beautiful?"
I'd smile and say, "It is"...

But I wouldn't mean the view.

Every beautiful thing makes me think of you.
The sky is full of stars tonight;
I want your face in that same light.
Not just this moment, not just this view—
I want the rest of my life with you.
Every beautiful thing makes me think of you.

Every beautiful thing
Makes me think of you.
(Always you.)
