Isn't She Lovely
Livingston Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't she wonderful?
Isn't she precious?
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love?
Now, isn't she pretty?
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been Heaven blessed
I can't believe what God's done
Through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love?
Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she wonderful?
Isn't she precious? Oh
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love?
Isn't she lovely made from love?

What an outstanding recording. I was listening through headphones just now, and it sounds like something that could have been recorded by a group of musicians in a single cut. Thank you for sharing.
