The Lady In Red
Burgh Chris de Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never seen you shine so bright, mhm-hmm
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
Is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, you took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
Lady in red
Is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red, the lady in red
The lady in red, my lady in red
I love you
In "The Lady in Red," Chris De Burgh describes his enchantment with a beautiful woman who catches his attention while they’re attending a party together. He says that he’s never seen her look so stunning before and that she’s radiating an aura of beauty that mesmerizes everyone around her. The singer suggests that many men are trying to woo her with their advances, but he hopes to steal a dance with her too. As they dance, he expresses how much he is captivated by her beauty, and how she takes his breath away. He admits that he hardly knows this woman by his side but he has never felt such deep love for anyone before.
The song can be interpreted to express how we all have moments when we see another person in a completely new light. It could be that we are struck by their appearance, or perhaps we see a side of them that we had never witnessed before. De Burgh emphasizes the idea that appearance can be deceiving, and that you need to look beyond the exterior to see the person's true nature. He acknowledges that while the lady in red might be a ravishing beauty to most, to him, she is much more than that. It is her spirit and passion that have made him fall head over heels in love with her.

My lovely wife of 40 years just passed away. This was our song, whenever I heard it I would find her, take her in my arms and dance away. I miss you my love, you were my lady in red!

My heart breaks for you. God bless you. Life is brilliantly wonderful beyond imagination, but it is also extremely cruel at times. It’s a universal fact almost everyone experiences at some point.
I’m truly sorry.
