Die a Happy Man
Thomas Rhett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, last night was hands down
One of the best nights
That I've had, no doubt
Between the bottle of wine
And the look in your eyes and the Marvin Gaye
Then we danced in the dark under September stars in the pourin' rain

And I know that I can't ever tell you enough
That all I need in this life is your crazy love
If I never get to see the Northern Lights



Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night
Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand
Baby, I could die a happy man
A happy man, baby, mmm

Baby, that red dress brings me to my knees
Oh, but that black dress makes it hard to breathe
You're a saint, you're a goddess, the cutest, the hottest, a masterpiece
It's too good to be true, nothing better than you
In my wildest dreams

And I know that I can't ever tell you enough
That all I need in this life is your crazy love
If I never get to see the Northern Lights
Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night
Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand
Baby, I could die a happy man, yeah, yeah, mmm

I don't need no vacation, no fancy destination
Baby, you're my great escape
We could stay at home, listen to the radio
Dance around the fireplace

Oh, if I never get to build my mansion in Georgia
Or drive a sports car up the coast of California
Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand
Baby, I could die a happy man

Baby, I could die a happy man
Oh, I could die a happy man
You know I could, girl
I could die, I could die a happy man
Mmm

Just being with his love, listening to the radio, and dancing by the fireplace is enough for him to be happy.


Line by Line Meaning

Baby, last night was hands down
Last night was unequivocally amazing


One of the best nights
In one of the top nights I've ever had


That I've had, no doubt
Without a shadow of a doubt


Between the bottle of wine
Drinking wine


And the look in your eyes and the Marvin Gaye
And feeling romantic with you, while listening to Marvin Gaye's music


Then we danced in the dark under September stars in the pourin' rain
We danced under the stars in the rain


And I know that I can't ever tell you enough
I can't express enough


That all I need in this life is your crazy love
All I want is your passionate love


If I never get to see the Northern Lights
Even if I never have the chance to see the Northern Lights


Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night
Or if I never get the opportunity, even if it's once, to see the Eiffel Tower at night


Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand
But if all I have is your hand in my hand


Baby, I could die a happy man
I'd be content as a dying man


Baby, that red dress brings me to my knees
Your red dress is irresistible


Oh, but that black dress makes it hard to breathe
And your every other dress also takes my breath away


You're a saint, you're a goddess, the cutest, the hottest, a masterpiece
You're an angel and a goddess, and the personification of perfection


It's too good to be true, nothing better than you
It seems impossible to find someone better than you


In my wildest dreams
Even in my most extreme imaginings


I don't need no vacation, no fancy destination
I don't require a luxurious vacation or a sophisticated location


Baby, you're my great escape
I am content with you, you are my refuge from the world


We could stay at home, listen to the radio
We can stay at home and listen to music on the radio


Dance around the fireplace
And dance there next to the fireplace


Oh, if I never get to build my mansion in Georgia
Even if I never get the chance to build a large house in Georgia


Or drive a sports car up the coast of California
Or drive a sports car up California's coast


Baby, I could die a happy man
I'd still be fulfilled in life


Baby, I could die a happy man
Baby, I could die a happy man


Oh, I could die a happy man
Yes, I could die a happy man


You know I could, girl
You know I'm being sincere, girl


I could die, I could die a happy man
‘Cause I could die, I could die a happy man
