Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a love for me
Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waitin' for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowin' what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess
I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it
Darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a man stronger than anyone I know
He shares my dreams, I hope that someday we'll share a home
I found a love to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fightin' against all odd
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be your girl, you'll be my man
And I see my future in your eyes

Well baby, I'm dancin' in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
While listenin' to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress
Looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this
Darling, you look perfect tonight

Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
While listenin' to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now, I know I have met an angel in person
And she (he) looks perfect




No, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

Well I found a man, stronger
than anyone I know
He shares my dreams,
I hope that someday we'll share a home
I found a love, to carry more

To carry love, to carry
children of our own

We are still kids,
but we're so in love,
fighting against all odds

Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
