What makes a song beautiful?

I've been trying to see what makes song beatiful;
looking at songs like
"If I fell in love with you" Beatles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGJqj4WfXhg
and "All I ask of you" Andrew lloyd weber
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h43VhgiYQgI&NR=1
It seems to involve a long and short notes mix,
well placed rests for effect,
and long notes sustained at endings.
What do you think?
What makes a song beautiful? Any ideas?

I would say the music, or the vocals. Lyrics don't impress me very often.

"Nocturne" - Secret Garden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd3a189vcVc
"Memories" - Within Temptation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhzJO34SCoc
"Angels Fall First" - Nightwish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu59QQ0qzL0

Sometimes it is the words and other times it is the music and other times it is a combination of both.
The haunting sounds of the music in the TItanic theme made it a beautiful song more than the words but combined it was a winning song.
The Beatles sonf was more the music than the lyrics.

The lyrics of the song make the song beautiful. Its like a story with a tune. The tune also helps to make a song beautiful whether its slow, fast or just right.

A song is beautiful when we somehow get involved with it.
