Lovely
The Michelles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
When I can't fall asleep
You're the field in the middle of the city
When I'm rushing by at the speed of light
You're the strong resolution when I find no peace
You're the church bells ringing in the evening
When all is quiet You whisper comfort
That lifts my heart
I get so weak

Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A thousand times I look around me and I find
Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A million ways could not explain
You're lovely

You're the soft words that touch me
When I just can't speak
You're the breeze on the ocean in the morning
Reminding me to greet the day
You're the flowers I remember seeing in Italy
Colors through a golden harp
Bright and radiant, soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun, it makes me sing

Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A thousand times I look around me and I find
Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A million ways could not explain
You're lovely

I understand there may be grief
And there may be pain
But I'm aware You blind the darkness
With Who You are

Because

Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe
A thousand times I look around me and I find
Ooh You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my universe




A million ways could not explain
You're lovely

There is no way of explaining the feelings this song brings when it starts playing on my speakers. God and all it's creations are a beautiful thing, and this song, explains the love we sometimes can't explain for this being who watches over us. Amazing song!

This song is the song I first danced to with my Husband on our wedding day. It was beautiful then and still means the same to me now.

Updating my comment, now after 10 years of marriage, him being severely disabled now with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. He’s in a wheelchair, legally blind and needs total care from feeding to diaper changes, bit the love he has for me is still the most beautiful kind of love. This song is still beautiful and accurate for our relationship.
