All-4-One - Beautiful As U Lyrics
Lyrics
From the moment I saw you
From the moment I looked into your eyes
There was something about you I knew, I knew
That you were once in a lifetime
A treasure near impossible to find
And I know how lucky I am to have you
Cause I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
The beauty of the setting sun, on any given day
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you
I can't believe that I have you
I can't believe that you're here in my arms
I've been waiting a life time for you, for you
And I've dreamed about you
Pictured in my mind who I would see
But I never imagined just how beautiful you'd be
Cause I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
(take your breath away)
The beauty of the setting sun, on any given day (any given day)
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you
Oh, oohh.
I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away
(take your breath away)
The beauty of the setting sun, on any given day
And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few
But I've never seen anything as beautiful,
No I've never seen, anything, as beautiful as you
From the moment I saw you
From the moment I looked into your eyes

Beautiful As U
Meaning & Inspiration
"Beautiful As U," released as part of All-4-One's 2015 album *Twenty+ (Deluxe Version)*, stands as a tender testament to finding unparalleled beauty in another person, transcending the ordinary wonders of the world. The song articulates a profound realization: that while nature offers breathtaking spectacles, from the vibrant arc of a rainbow to the serene descent of the sun and the fleeting brilliance of a shooting star, these natural marvels pale in comparison to the unique splendor of the beloved. The lyrical journey begins with the immediate, almost fated, recognition of this special individual, suggesting a connection that feels both rare and divinely orchestrated. The narrator expresses deep gratitude for this person's presence, describing them as a "treasure near impossible to find," a sentiment that resonates with the biblical concept of finding favor and a good wife, as described in Proverbs 18:22: "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." The song's core message is one of genuine awe and profound appreciation, presenting the beloved as a unique masterpiece, a truth echoed in Psalm 139:14, which states, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." This spiritual undertone elevates the song beyond a simple declaration of affection, framing the beloved's beauty as a reflection of a higher, creative power, akin to how creation itself points to the Creator. The repeated assertion that "I've never seen anything as beautiful as you" isn't hyperbole; it’s a sincere expression of finding something so perfect and rare that it surpasses all earthly comparisons, much like the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, as Paul describes in Philippians 3:8: "Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." The song captures the wonder of stumbling upon something truly extraordinary, a divinely placed gift that inspires deep gratitude and a renewed appreciation for the beauty that God places in our lives through the people we cherish.
