Beautiful Faces
We made a fun video for you with the new song Beautiful Faces. More than any song I've ever done, I never get tired of it, and it plays in my head all the time, like a jukebox with only one song. Oh, it's Jose Garcia of Los Angeles singing with me.
Purchase the song or the whole Watch Where You Point That Thing collection here.
Today I'm sitting outside at my favorite coffee shop, Full 'O Beans, writing on the two new books.
Love you all,
Lola
BEAUTIFUL FACES by Lola Jones with Spanish by Jose Garcia
(Lola sings from the perspective of a doctor who is reshaping the childrens’ faces)
I saw beneath your skin. I knew your face disguised the real you.
And still your heart would laugh and you would play… as children do.
In dreams I saw your image as you hope to be.
And from all limits I hoped I could set you free.
You know your love was maybe stronger for the beauty you so longed for.
Made all the sweeter now that it’s your day.
You know your courage brought me to my knees,
when I thought of all I’d done to please,
and how my eyes found fault with my own face.
(Bridge) Some get to take for granted faces beautiful or bold.
Others get a gift of grace from hearts of size untold.
To see a child unfold and flower, grow new strength and find new power.
I’ll never know what it’s like to be you.
I know your heart it grew much stronger for the beauty you so longed for.
Made all the sweeter when it came your day.
You know your courage brought me to my knees when I thought of all I’d done to please, and how my eyes found fault with my own face.
(The Spanish lyrics are the child speaking)Lo viste no perdi La esperanza de vivir De mirarme y sonreir
Y por esto con mi Corazon Te doy mi gratitud Por darme la illusion de vivir
(Translation: You see, I did not lose the hope to live
To see myself and smile. And for this from my Heart I give you my gratitude for giving me this vision of life.)
(Instrumental break)
I know your love was made much stronger.
Now the beauty you so longed for is all the sweeter now that it’s your day.
You know your courage brought me to my knees. Now your beauty the whole world can see. And now you see the light in your own face.
(Bridge)
No matter what the cost our vision never wavered.
Your waiting till your dream came true you patiently savored.
My vision for you brighter than sunlight paled as your new smile lit up the night.
You’re my new hero though you think I’m yours.
Y no pierdo la esperanza La llevo aqui en el alma De poder salir de esta piel
Que al fin todos me vean Y nunca mas me teman Cada amanecer sentir amor
(Translation: And I have not lost hope, as I keep it in my soul, of being able to shed this skin. At last for all see me, and they never fear me again. Every morning I feel love.)
I know your love was made much stronger.
Now the beauty you so longed for is all the sweeter now that it’s your day.
You know your courage brought me to my knees.
Now your beauty the whole world can see.
And now you see the light in your own face.
