Lovely
Shawn McDonald Lyrics

Let me tell you a story
The singer wants to share a story with the listener

Of a little boy who had lost his way
The story is about a young boy who is lost and lonely

In search for something to make it a better day
The boy is looking for something to bring happiness to his life

But all he seemed to find
Despite his efforts to find happiness, the boy is still struggling

Was a world of hurt and pain
The boy's experiences have been painful and difficult

And a place that didn't seem to care
The boy feels like he is alone and that nobody cares about him

That he'd lost his way
The boy feels lost and directionless

So the boy began to cry
The boy is overwhelmed with sadness and starts to cry

Yes, the boy began to cry
The boy's tears are a significant part of the story

Does anyone love me?
The boy wonders if anyone cares about him

Does anyone care?
The boy feels like nobody cares about him

Is anyone out there
The boy is searching for someone to help him

That finds me lovely?
The boy wants to feel valued and loved

That finds me lovely
The boy wants to be accepted and appreciated

That finds me lovely
The boy repeats his desire to be loved

Just when the little boy had lost all hope
The boy has given up hope of finding happiness

Well, along came a man that ushered him in
A man arrives and brings the boy into his care

He held him to his chest
The man shows physical affection towards the boy

And He said "Little boy, it's time that you rest"
The man offers comfort and reassurance to the boy

He opened up His arms
The man is welcoming and loving towards the boy

And said, "I've been searching for you for sometime
The man has been actively looking for the boy

Now, little boy, you have found a home
The boy has found a place where he belongs

And now longer shall you roam"
The boy no longer has to wander aimlessly

Then the man began to cry
The man is also emotional and moved by the situation

Yes, the man began to cry
The man's tears are a significant part of the story

Don't you know I love you?
The man wants to make sure the boy knows he is loved

Don't you know I care?
The man wants the boy to know he is being taken care of

And I will always be here
The man promises to support and protect the boy

And I find you lovely
The man values and appreciates the boy

Yes, I find you lovely
The man repeats his affection for the boy

Yes, I find you so, so lovely
The man emphasizes how much he treasures the boy

I find you lovely
The man continues to express his love for the boy

Yes, I find you lovely
The man once again affirms his admiration for the boy

Find you lovely
The importance of the boy's worth and value is emphasized

Yes, I find you lovely
The man repeats his esteem for the boy
