Isn't She Lovely
Tetsu Nishiuchi and The Band 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
Isn't she pretty
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love
Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love
The song "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder is a tribute to his daughter Aisha Morris. The first verse describes the overwhelming joy that a parent feels when they first lay eyes on their newborn child. The lyrics “Isn’t she lovely, isn’t she wonderful, isn’t she precious, less than one minute old” perfectly capture the awe and wonder a parent feels in that moment. The song then goes on to express gratitude for the gift of life and love that led to the birth of this beautiful child. The lyrics “I never thought through love we’d be making one as lovely as she, but isn’t she lovely made from love” are a testament to the power of love and the miracle of creation.
The second verse speaks to the idea that this child is not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well. The lyrics “Isn’t she pretty, truly the angel’s best, boy I’m so happy we have been heaven blessed” suggest that Aisha is not just physically lovely, but also has a pure and angelic soul. The final verse ties it all together by revealing the meaning behind Aisha’s name (“Life is Aisha, the meaning of her name”). The lyrics “Londie, it could have not been done, without you who conceived the one, that’s so very lovely made from love” show appreciation for Aisha’s mother and acknowledge the ultimate source of Aisha’s loveliness.
