Hard contemporary folk and acoustic rock
Lyrics
Verse
You’re an optimist a dreamer;
It’s a different world you see.
You see bright sunflowers
where I see fields of weeds.
Where I only see a downside
You find promises of hope.
I see the here and now
You use your telescope.
Chorus
Beautiful, beautiful, innocent girl
You’ve changed the way I look at the world.
I’m no longer quite as cynical
I’m not the pessimist that I was.
Beautiful, beautiful, innocent girl
You’ve shown me how it feels to find love.
Verse
You find happiness in giving
And in making others smile.
When the going gets tough
You go the extra mile.
I was darkness you were sunlight
You made winter turn to spring.
It’s funny how love’s changed
The way I look at things.
Chorus
Beautiful, beautiful, innocent girl
You’ve changed the way I look at the world.
I’m no longer quite as cynical
I’m not the pessimist that I was.
Beautiful, beautiful, innocent girl
You’ve shown me how it feels to find love.
Bridge
You chase dreams like they’re butterflies
And you’re a little girl.
And that’s rare and beautiful
in this pessimistic world.
