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
Oooh, Celie, you're too beautiful for words
