Beautiful Thing Lyrics by Eric Clapton

No Reason to Cry

1976

[Verse 1]
I've told you once, so now you should know
The reason that I'm coming down
There ain't no time to repeat again
Just need to bring it around
[Chorus]
We had a beautiful thing going
You couldn't see things my way
We had a beautiful thing going
Something just got in our way
[Verse 2]
And I told you once that it was rough
I looked on you as my friend
Because that did not seem to be good enough
And now it's time to begin
[Chorus]
We've got a beautiful thing going
I hope that's the way it will stay
We've got a beautiful thing going
Nothing can stand in our way
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
We've got a beautiful thing going
I hope that's the way it will stay
We've got a beautiful thing going
Nothing can stand in our way
[Guitar Outro]
