Columbus Avenue and Eighty-Seventh Street My heart was racin' when I got the word that we would meet Aw babe, it was a beautiful thing A summer thunderstorm, we had to run and hide An empty phone booth, tangled up and stoppin' time Aw babe, it was a beautiful thing The world stopped turning every time I heard you call my name I had a feeling that nothing's gonna be the same You were a bon vivant, I was a libertine We lit a fire like neither one of us had ever seen Aw babe, it was a beautiful thing That size-two pencil skirt a-ridin' up your thigh Back of a taxicab, good lord, you're blowin' my mind Aw babe, it was a beautiful thing I hate to tell ya, but I think we might have caused a scene Let 'em all stare, 'cause it really don't matter to me You've been living like a queen for a long, long time I wonder, could I be your king? Would you be my bride? Then came the twelfth of May, it was a big affair You wore the perfect dress and everyone we love was there Aw babe, it was a beautiful thing I said, hey now babe, it was a beautiful thing From Letras Mania
