i cried the night you left me
i never cried so hard
i never felt so helpless
except the night that we made love

from beauty to disaster
i held you in my arms
long enough to reach around you
to keep my fingers warm

through egos, bars, and pills
you kept me in my place
you saved me from this spotlight
well i guess i'm living in disgrace

from beauty to disaster
i held you in my arms
long enough to reach around you
to keep my fingers warm

i wonder how is california
is it the blonde-haired blue-eyed life
is it okay for me to ask you
do you have a husband or a wife

from beauty to disaster
i never cried so hard
i never felt so helpless
