Isn't She Lovely
Anthem Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't she wonderful?
Isn′t she precious?
Such a beautiful soul
I never thought
That I would be
A son of someone as lovely as she
She's my mom
Isn′t she pretty?
Truly the angels′ best
Boy, I'm so happy
I have been heaven-blessed
I can′t believe
What God has done
I might be the luckiest son
But isn't she lovely?
She′s my mom
Isn't she lovely?
Isn′t she wonderful?
Isn't she precious?
Such a beautiful soul
I can't believe
I get to be
A son of someone as lovely as she
Isn′t she lovely?
She′s my mom
Isn't she lovely?
She′s my mom

SPOT ON for Mother's Day & a tribute and compliment to Stevie Wonder's original song from the 1970's. Stevie made it for his daughter, and this group changed the lyrics but kept the sweet tune. Love it. I'm going to play it at my mom's house for her and my sisters and neices today. THANK YOU.

This is so beautiful. I was so inspired by your version that I sang it for my mom. It brought her to tears :)
