You re lovely to me yes you are
We ve traveled together
We ve traveled so far
Your tongue it is wise
And there s love in your eyes deep and blue
You re lovely to me yes you are
And venus ascending is surely your star
I ve seen how you shine
But I can t make you mine it is true
You re a midsummer mountain in bloom
Heather and linden, the fruit of your womb
There s honey and sap in the couch of your lap
Lady day
There s nothing you would not provide
When all is despair you are there at my side
It is you that is near it is you that gives ear
when I pray
You re lovely to me yes you are
You ve been out on the road with a craving for tar
You know what you need yes you re canny in deed
And in name
You re lovely to me yes you are
And I ll see you tonight in a local bar
We ll be wed before dawn and by morning
We re one and the same
The old ones they knew you my love
They set you to reason and sullied a dove
But how could they try you or demystify you with words
You re a city that s pulling me still
You keep me from sleeping and strengthen my will
The gates they are strong but they open for song I
have heard
You re lovely to me yes you are
You re the beautiful one that time cannot mar
Your lost in the eyes of my love
as she cries all for joy
You re lovely to me yes you are
You re the elusive chord on my old guitar
You re hidden neath veils that our love making fails
to destroy
There s all I desire in your voice
I fear I am bold but you leave me no choice
You know that to ask me to turn from my task would be
vain
You re a rose that for no man will yield
You have many names and all of them sealed
Your empire is vast from the first to the last you
remain
You re lovely to me yes you are
It s war all the time but you bare no scar
You glitter like sand as it runs through my hands to
the sea
You re lovely to me yes you are
You re my drunken companion it s right that you are
Your love takes me higher your love is the fire in me
