Thanks, John.  English singer Joe Cocker released a version of the song on his album I Can Stand a Little Rain.  Cocker's version was released as a single in November 1974.  It became Cocker's highest-charting solo hit, peaking at number five on the United States' Billboard Hot 100.  Billy Preston wrote You Are So Beautiful with one of his regular collaborators, Bruce Fisher.  Preston's inspiration was his mother, who worked as a stage actress.  According to his friend Sam Moore (who had assumed it was a standard love song), Preston was appalled to learn that Moore was using the song as a means to attract young women each time he sang it in concert.  In Moore's description, Preston told him: That song's about my mother!.

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see

[Post Chorus]
You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
To me

[Verse]
Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

[Chorus]
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
Every, everything I need
You are so beautiful to me.
