My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
然而令人震惊的是，在歌曲尚未开始之时，当前奏仍未结束之时，歌者竟脱口而出“My life is brilliant”。这种摆脱内心无限孤苦的大无畏精神几乎要令人落泪。
随着音乐的渐渐进行，歌者也向听者讲述了具体的故事。在人海中偶遇的一个女孩，她那美丽的微笑，她那貌似不经意的对视，令歌者怦然心动。无奈的是，她身边已经有人。歌者用了一句诡异的“I've got a plan”，将我们带入了他的内心世界。她的美丽是歌者无法抵挡的，在看见她的瞬间，歌者感觉世界都停了下来。但众人的脚步却没有停。在擦肩而过的几秒钟内，歌者内心世界经历了人生中也许最大的苦痛，与美丽就此告别，心中的无限遐想也在瞬间成为了泡影。一个高昂的“fucking high”，看似有辱斯文，但却在冥冥之中透露了作者心中巨大的起伏。
由爱而引发性，而性中的高潮无疑是人生中最难以忘怀的东西之一。在这里，歌者巧妙的结合了fucking的本意和在口语中的引申意，将无数幻想集结在这个词里面。
众人继续擦肩，眼看就要分离。歌者回过头来，他知道，自己永远不会个这个美丽女子在一起。但他心中并不是完完全全的懊恼与焦躁。于实于虚之中，歌者仿佛看见了一个纯洁的天使，一个象征了美好的天使，和自己别过。基督教文化中，看见天使即为幸事，无须拥有天使。
歌者坚强的朝前走着，他知道回头看身后的女子也无济于事，因为自己迟早要面对现实——I'll never be with you.
在我们的生活里，又何尝没有过这样的经历呢？茫茫人海中，无意中抬头的一瞥，很可能让我们为之心动。但我们只能选择错过，因为无数的理由。
用这首歌来代表我们所希望的但却不能拥有的，无比美好。
