The Lady In Red
Roch Voisine · Sweet Songs [1986]
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight.
I've never seen you shine so bright.
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance.
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance.
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes.
I have been blind.
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek.
There's nobody here, it's just you and me.
It's where I wanna be but I hardly know, this beauty by my side.
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight.
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing.
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away.
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight.
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek.
There's nobody here, it's just you and me.
It's where I wanna be but I hardly know, this beauty by my side.
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.
The lady in red, the lady in red.
The lady in red, my lady in red, I love you.
