Lovely Tonight
Joshua Radin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all that we said will not be lost into the dawn
And you would be the last thing I saw coming
I'm still surprised
You are lovely tonight
You, dear, will guide me into the morning light
You are lovely tonight
Alone we are fine; but when we're two, we are eternal
The moons have aligned our separate lives; here become one
And you would be the last thing I saw coming
I'm still surprised
You are lovely tonight
You, dear, will guide me into the morning light
You are lovely tonight
Lay here beside me - I see the rest of my life with you
All my life I've lived alone without you
All this time I couldn't find a way to belong
And you are lovely tonight
You, dear, will guide me into the morning light
You are lovely tonight
Lay here beside me
I see the rest of my life with you

I would love it if there was a version of this that perfectly matched the one from the cougar town episode. This is the closest I think. I think it slows down a bit towards the middle.
