Make yourself beautiful, don't do it for me
Today you are incredible, every sane man's dream
But days are passing so fast, and summer cannot last, my love
Autumn brings the cold, that sees all promises fold
And I won't wait that long to die,
The time has come to face the lie
Make yourself beautiful, don't do it for me
Today we seem indelible, but that light was only a gleam
Desire comes for a day, desire is all I want my love
The bloom is turning grey, the sun deserts the day
And I won't lose the chance to shine, the time has come to face the lie
So make yourself beautiful, don't do it for me
Today we seem invincible, but we're only running on steam
And steam is vapor and disappears,
As we will disappear too
That's just the way that life is,
And how our love lives are too
Make yourself beautiful, don't do it for me
Do it for you, always for you
