Beautiful and Lost - Ron Pope

With your pink shoes on

Satin ribbons in your hair

Dance to something soft and sweet

Ghost of a little girl

Who fell asleep there, right beside me

You look so beautiful and lost

But don’t turn out the light this time

Don’t turn out the light on me tonight

This is simple, this is new

That’s why I’m not scared of you

But you’re afraid in ways that I can’t comprehend

I do not pretend to live beneath your soft blonde hair, inside your head

Wrapped up in darkness

Slow dancing with despair

You look so beautiful and lost

But don’t turn out the light this time

Don’t turn out the light on me tonight

Don’t turn out the light…

Spinning harder now, you seem confused

I close my eyes, but I’m still watching you

If you’re broken, I will gather up your pieces from the filthy ground

But don’t turn out the light this time

Don’t turn out the light on me tonight

Don’t turn out the light…

You look so beautiful and lost

You look so beautiful and lost
