As Lovely As You
Alan Jackson · Like Red on a Rose [2006]
So bright in the sky
But it won't shine brighter
Than the stars in your eyes.
It rises above me
So bright and so blue
And I won't see anyone
As lovely as you.
Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams
in my heart
I love you
More than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart.
So lay down beside me
And hold me tonight
For your love has found me
And it feels so right.
These thoughts in my mind
Are so scattered and few
But I won't see anyone
As lovely as you.
Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you more than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart.
In my heart...
