Tenerife Sea

Ed Sheeran · X [2014]

You look so wonderful in your dress

I love your hair like that

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back



We are surrounded by all of these lights

And people who talk too much

You've got that kind of look in your eyes

As if no one knows anything but us



And should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need



I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, so in love



You look so beautiful in this light

Your silhouette over me

The way it brings out the blue in your eyes

Is the Tenerife sea



And all of the voices surrounding us here

They just fade out when you take a breath

Just say the word and I will disappear

Into the wilderness



And should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need



I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, so in love



Lumiere, darling

Lumiere over me [x6]



And should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need



I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, love, love, love,

So in love



You look so wonderful in your dress

I loved your hair like that

And in the moment I knew you best
