Letra

My life is brilliant

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye
As we walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Flying high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you

La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you

But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

Curiosidades

James Blunt escreveu a letra da música em apenas dois minutos, inspirando-se na canção "La Cienega Just Smiled" de Ryan Adams para a trilha sonora.

A versão completa lançado no álbum Back to Bedlam contém uma palavra vulgar ("fucking high"), motivo pelo qual o disco carrega a adesivo de alerta parental, enquanto a edição de rádio suavizou a frase para "flying high".

O clipe da música foi filmado em Mallorca e mostra Blunt pulando de um penhasco na água, um momento que exigiu duas tentativas e resultou em um lábio rasgado para o cantor.

A música foi o primeiro single de um artista britânico a alcançar o número 1 na Billboard Hot 100 desde a versão de 1997 de "Candle in the Wind" de Elton John.

"You're Beautiful" bateu o recorde de ser a primeira música não-americana e não relacionada ao American Idol a chegar ao topo da parada desde "How You Remind Me" do Nickelback, em 2001.

O paródico "Weird Al" Yankovic criou a música "You're Pitiful", que zomba do fato de Blunt cantar a primeira linha ("My life is brilliant") duas vezes no início da faixa original devido a um adiantamento acidental deixado na gravação final.
