Linda Kasko - What a Lovely Beauty Lyrics

I saw her by the bay in her daisy dukes
Fishing pole ready to catch flukes
Had her headphones on mouthing the words
To a tune that she probably often heard
I was shy and afraid to take a chance
What would she do if her eyes met my glance
So I sat down by a tree - tried not to stare
Wondern' what she'd think if she saw me sittin' there
What a lovely beauty this long legged girl
With shiny black hair and just a little curl
I'd like to call out and ask for her name
But I wonder if she'll be thinkin I'm insane
How can I get my nerve to ask her for a date
Should I just stroll by and pretend that it was fate
I'm gona' wait here just a little while more
Till I see her start walking down along the shore
I've worked my courage up to take a big risk
All the while thinkn' about stealn' a kiss
What a lovely beauty you can't help but dream
Getting to know her is harder than it seems
I've got to do this right don't wanna make a mess
I'm shakin' like a frightened boy I confess
Well now it doesn't matter it seems she noticed me
Keep cool and self-composed that's got to be the key
Now ready with the words I've been waiting to say
But as she walks by I see a guy get in the way
He's tall with broad shoulders and sun streaked hair
That look on his face says he hasn't a care
No lack of confidence I seem to display
They climb into his truck and soon drive away
Aw, that lovely beauty I won't soon forget
That day near the shore when we nearly met
Down by the shore there's such a pretty sight
The sun shines down on this afternoon delight
What a lovely beauty this long legged girl
With shiny black hair and just a little curl
What a lovely beauty this long legged girl
With shiny black hair and just a little curl
