Lovely
Alice Peacock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take my breath away
You knock me out with the little things you do
And all the words you say
Because you're lovely
Lovely you see
That's all there is to it
Sometimes when you're looking in my eyes
I can't hold your gaze
'Cause I don't know if you can read my mind
And what it will betray
Because you're lovely
Lovely you see
I can't deny it
So very lovely, lovely to me
I cannot wait 'til I see you again
In Alice Peacock's song "Lovely", the lyrics beautifully and artfully describe the singer's admiration for an individual they have never been able to encounter before. The singer communicates how this individual's presence leaves them breathless and how they are in awe of the little things that they do and even the words they say. This admiration is quite potent and very deeply felt, as demonstrated by the repetition of the word "lovely" that occurs throughout the song. Despite this admiration, there is a hint of insecurity in the lyrics. For instance, the singer struggles to hold the gaze of this "lovely" individual, because of fear that their innermost thoughts will be revealed to them.
Overall, this song is about the powerful emotions and profound admiration that occurs when one encounters someone special.
Line by Line Meaning
I've never known someone quite like you
I have never met anyone with your unique personality and qualities
You take my breath away
Your presence makes me feel overwhelmed with happiness and emotion
You knock me out with the little things you do
Even the smallest gestures or actions from you have a huge impact on me
And all the words you say
Your words are always thoughtful and meaningful to me
Because you're lovely
Your elegance and beauty make you an amazing person
Lovely you see
I can easily see your wonderful qualities
That's all there is to it
There's no need to complicate it, you are simply special
So very lovely, lovely to me
You are incredibly gorgeous and amazing to me
Sometimes when you're looking in my eyes
Occasionally, during our interactions, our eyes meet
I can't hold your gaze
I can't maintain eye contact with you
'Cause I don't know if you can read my mind
I am unsure if you can understand my thoughts and feelings
And what it will betray
I fear that my thoughts would reveal something I don't want to reveal
I cannot wait 'til I see you again
I am excited to see you again soon

Ghost Whisperer must have helped a lot of artists to be heard. There is a site that can be found by typing "songs from Ghost Whisperer". Whoever picked the music for that show did a great job!

The last sentence reads "I can't wait to see you again" I just heard this song 12 20 2020. I lost my husband last year on Easter. So this song has a good feel for me. Because I can't wait to see him again. 💔
