(Source) Lyrics to Charlie Rich's "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" 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 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 the 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 Below is a cool video of Charlie Rich's Son performing his Dad's tune!
