The beauty of a love song is in the writer's unabashed willingness to tell the world everything that is being felt. Usually you don't have to be as clever or Dylanesque with love songs as long as you're open and honest.

She Is Beautiful

ERSE 1
She has long, wavy dark hair
The deepest light brown eyes
With an illuminating smile
She is an angel from the sky 

CHORUS #1
As striking as a red rose 
As bright as the distant sun 
As endless as a thousand words,
But if asked to use just one, she is.... beautiful

VERSE 2
She was an ordinary girl
To everyone else but me
What I know is inside her
Should be plain for all to see

CHORUS #2
As moving as a portrait
As vital as the rain
As precious as a diamond
But I have to make it plain, she is.... beautiful

CHORUS #2
As moving as a portrait
As vital as the rain
As precious as a diamond
But I have to make it plain, she is.... 

CHORUS #1
As striking as a red rose 
As bright as the distant sun 
As endless as a thousand words,
But if asked to use just one, she is.... beautiful
She is.... beautiful
Beautiful
