Beautiful Lady A beautiful lady with eyes on fire, That sparkle and laugh, that can smile and cry, I love your eyes so clear and true. Beautiful lady I adore you. A twinkling look that bubbles bright, With a heart to care, and a heart to love, With hands to hold, and hands to help, Beautiful lady there to give. Beautiful lady, a smile so bright, So warm and gentle, so soft. A delight. A voice so clear, That calms and soothes, a voice that wipes all fears. Beautiful lady, I'll give to you, my thoughts, my prayers, my hopes, I offer you my heart, my strength. My love is yours for ever. Beautiful lady, I love you as you are. Beautiful. - Graham R.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my nest , The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Maya Angelou
