lady in red
De Burgh Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never seen you shine so bright
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
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, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The 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
The song "Lady in Red" by Chris de Burgh is a love song about a man who is entranced by the beauty of a woman dressed in red. He has never seen her look so lovely and shine so bright as she does on this particular night. The man notices that many other men are asking her to dance, hoping for a little romance, but he is the one who has the honor of dancing with her cheek to cheek. He admits he hardly knows her, but he never wants to forget the way she looks tonight.
The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is completely enamored by the woman he is dancing with. He is taken aback by her beauty, from the dress she is wearing, to the highlights in her hair that catch her eyes. The fact that so many other men want to dance with her only makes her more desirable to him. Through the course of the song, the man realizes that he is falling in love with her and he never wants to forget the way she looks tonight. The repeated phrase, "The lady in red," serves as a kind of refrain that reinforces the image of this stunning woman.
This song has become a classic over the years since its release in 1986 and it is a favorite at weddings and romantic events. The song has been included in many movie soundtracks, from "The Bodyguard" to "American Psycho". "Lady in Red" is also a pop culture icon; it has been parodied and referenced frequently by sitcoms, TV shows, and movies. The song has transcended time and culture and it continues to be a popular choice for couples in love.

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.
