"Too Beautiful for Words" is a song from the Broadway musical The Color Purple performed by Jennifer Hudson
(Shug).
You not ugly. You the grace of god if us ever see it.
You don't believe me.
Miss celie . . . Miss celie, look here. Look at yourself.
I've always been the kind of gal
That had a lot to say.
I says the things that's on my mind,
Too dumb to shy away.
But you hush my mouth and still me
With a song i've never heard.
I guess that means that you are just
Too beautiful for words.
I've seen this life from high and low
And all that's in between.
I danced with dukes, crooned with counts,
Been courted like a queen.
But when i see what's in your heart,
All the rest is blurred.
The grace you bring into this world's
Too beautiful for words.
You hide your head under your wing
Just like a little bird.
Oh, don't you know you're beautiful,
Too beautiful for words?
Celie, you're too beautiful for words.
