You Are Too Beautiful (At the Village Vanguard) - Junior Mance, Junior Mance Trio

You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true

And I am a fool for beauty

Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you

I could have bound you too

You are too beautiful for one man alone

For one lucky fool to be with

When there are other men

With eyes of their own to see with

Love does not stand sharing

Not if one cares

Have you been comparing

My every kiss with theirs

If, on the other hand, I’m faithful to you

It’s not through a sense of duty

You are too beautiful

And I am a fool for beauty

Love does not stand sharing

Not if one cares

Have you been comparing

My every kiss with theirs

If, on the other hand, I’m faithful to you

It’s not through a sense of duty

You are too beautiful

And I am a fool for beauty
