Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Here with you beside your bed

Your Irish eyes are shining

Dizzy thoughts run through your head

As the day is closing

And I look at you the way you look

At fireflies that dance upon the dusk

You are beautiful and greatly loved

 

You are beautiful and greatly loved

Though the flower may fade

Your worth will never age

The breath of heaven from above

Flows through the both of us

Singing over us

You are greatly loved

 

As a robin guards the nest

While the chicks are growing

And draws them out towards the edge

To find their wings for flying

So I long to see you rise

And find His grace will always be enough

You are beautiful and greatly loved

 

You are beautiful and greatly loved

Though the flower may fade

Your worth will never age

The breath of heaven from above

Flows through the both of us

Singing over us

You are greatly loved

 

There?s a jewel of greater worth

A gentle quiet spirit

A beauty that delights the Lord

And those of old retell it

My aging hands will rest on yours

I?ll tell you ever keep your heart up

You are beautiful and greatly loved

 

You are beautiful and greatly loved

Though the flower may fade

Your worth will never age

The breath of heaven from above

Flows through the both of us

Singing over us

You are greatly loved

You are greatly loved
