Hey

Did you happen to see

The most beautiful girl in the world?

And if you did, was she crying, crying?

Hey

If you happen to see

The most beautiful girl that walked out on me

Tell her I’m sorry

Tell her I need my baby

Oh, won’t you tell her that I love her

I woke up this morning

Realized what I had done

I stood alone in the cold gray dawn

I knew I’d lost my morning sun

I lost my head and I said some things

Now comes the heartaches that morning brings

I know I’m wrong

And I couldn’t see

I let my world slip away from me

So, hey

Did you happen to see

The most beautiful girl in the world?

And if you did, was she crying, crying?

Hey

If you happen to see

The most beautiful girl that walked out on me

Tell her I’m sorry

Tell her I need my baby

Oh, won’t you tell her that I love her

If you happen to see the most beautiful girl

That walked out on me

Tell her I’m sorry

Tell her I need my baby

Oh, won’t you tell her that I love her
