Isn't She Lovely
The Monty Alexander Trio 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 The Monty Alexander Trio is a tender and joyful ode to the birth of a baby girl. The song is a celebration of the beautiful, precious life that has just entered the world. In the first verse, the singer marvels at the wonder of this new life, and expresses amazement that he and his beloved could create such a beautiful child. He sings that this little girl is "made from love," encapsulating the powerful and transformative force of love that has brought her into being.
The second verse of the song continues in this vein of joyful thanks and appreciation for this new life. The singer marvels at the beauty and sweetness of this baby girl, calling her "truly the angel's best." He thanks God for the incredible blessing of this new life, saying that he "can't believe what God has done" through him and his partner. He again emphasizes the theme of love, calling the child "so very lovely made from love."
The final verse of the song gives us a glimpse into the meaning behind the name of this little girl. Her name is Aisha, which means "life." The singer acknowledges that life and love are intimately connected, and that this little girl is a perfect embodiment of both.

Joi de Vivre and how to communicate your enjoyment and love to the rest of us! Pity, Monty chose not to indulge us longer. The simplicity encapsulates the spirit of jazz!

Concert génial! dommage que les conditions d'écoutes et visuels ne sont pas au même niveau qu'à Vienne! Les organisateurs devraient s’inspirer de l’héritage des romains ....
