Written for a friend of mine who wanted to give a song to his bride for their wedding.... this is what I wrote for him to give.
lyrics
YOU'RE LOOKING SO LOVELY
Words and Music by Tage Plantell
A simple picture wouldn’t have made it any more clear to see
That your glance would never be disturbed for anyone like me
To give up wasn’t an option common ground I had to find
Determined to make it work I wasn’t gonna miss out this time
You’re looking so lovely and you aren’t even trying
I feel that I’ve made it to heaven but I’m so far from dying
Now I hold your body as you fall to sleep
I hear your heart and I feel you breathe
I lean into your neck
I press against your spine
When I whisper I love you baby
Rest well knowing that you’re mine
I like the way you make me feel oh so good too
It’s the many little things that make me love you
The tingle in my skin when our bodies collide
I know what you mean when you say “I like you times 5”
When you feel it in your tummy and everything is strange
You know the day is here and it’s all about to change
One thing is for certain and it’s you that I adore
So follow your heart and open up to what’s yours
I am yours
Now that all is well and we've seen what fate has brought
I’ve reached for the stars and now it’s you that I’ve got
Another new morning I see your face again
Today is the day I make you more than just my best friend
