In 1997, Lucca took to the internet with his independent debut, So Satisfied. Having sold 2000 copies within a year, he then followed that up with the 1999 release, Strong Words, Softly Spoken. With only the internet and constant touring, Lucca went on to sell a total of 10,000 records in just a few short years. After garnering the 2001 LA Music Award for best male singer/songwriter, Tony Lucca had created quite a buzz with industry insiders and managed to take to the road opening for recording mega stars like *NSync and Marc Anthony, sharing the stage with a diverse array of artists such as Macy Gray, Johnny Lang, and the late great Chris Whitley.
After several years of indy perseverance, Lucca released his first commercially distributed album in 2004. Shotgun, the consummate road trip record, takes the listener for a ride.
In 2005, Lucca released Anatomy of a Blackbird, a live concert dvd with a close-up, behind the scenes look at life on the road during his 2004 California tour. The documentary and 12 song set give an honest glimpse into the world of an artist hard at work and enjoying every minute of it.
August of 2006 ushered in the release of Lucca's 4th full length studio effort, Canyon Songs. This collection of songs was written and recorded entirely up in the canyons of Los Angeles. Canyon Songs is an homage to the thriving singer/songwriter spirit of the late 60's and early 70's that took Laurel Cayon out of it's mystical obscurity and placed it right dead smack in the middle of mainstream poular music. From the Joni Mitchell-laced "Songbird" to the Eagles-like "Darlin' I" Lucca reveals his earliest influences with the kind of maturity and respect that only comes with time. It's here that Lucca expresses his appreciation for song in a way that seems to be absent in so much of today's contemporary music.
The consummate live performer, Lucca has etched out an extensive national following. From the folk-friendly venues of the lower East side, to the hype-crazed clubs on the Sunset Strip, and with the help of a national street team of close to 1000 devoted listeners, Tony Lucca has made a rather impressive name for himself as an artist not to be missed
Happily Ever After
Tony Lucca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my hand, let's fly away
Make the best with what we've got
And improve along the way
I'm a sucker for you beauty darlin'
The way you please and hurt me
Scream for you to pin me down
Be my baby, be my dream
Be my, my happily ever after
The touch of your hand inspires
The taste of you, my favorite song
A lifetime in your gallery
Tell me, would that be wrong?
Would that be too long?
Be my baby, be my dream
Be my, my happily ever after
Be my lady, be my queen
Be my, my happily ever after
And after, on and on and on
With you all the way, with you all the way
On and on and on
A lifetime in your arms around me
Two were meant to become one
Forever you're my favorite
Forever I'm yours, forever I'm yours
Be my baby, be my dream
Be my, my happily ever after
Be my lady, be my queen
From here and there and in between
Be my baby, be my dream
Be my, my happily ever after

On the reckless and carefree wings of love
Let us take flight on the unpredictable and unregulated sentiment of love
Take my hand, let's fly away
Let us embrace and explore the uncertain journey of love together
Make the best with what we've got
Accept and appreciate what we have and work towards a better future
And improve along the way
Continuously strive to better ourselves and our relationship as we progress
I'm a sucker for you beauty darlin'
I am deeply enamored by your physical appearance
The way you please and hurt me

I desire to surrender myself to you completely
And happy to beg for mercy
I take pleasure in submitting to your will and pleading for your forgiveness

The touch of your hand inspires
Your gentle touch motivates me and fills me with romantic passion
The taste of you, my favorite song
The experience of your body is most pleasurable and satisfying to me
A lifetime in your gallery
Spending my life by your side is akin to being in a beautiful art collection
Tell me, would that be wrong?
Is dedicating my life to you an improper decision?
Would that be too long?
Is spending my entire life in love with you excessive?
Be my lady, be my queen
Be the ruler of my heart and reign over my passions
From here and there and in between
Regardless of our locations or circumstances, stay with me
And after, on and on and on
Our love will continue for eternity
With you all the way, with you all the way
Together, we will face all obstacles and enjoy all triumphs
A lifetime in your arms around me
Holding me in your embrace for our lifetime is my deepest desire
Two were meant to become one
Our souls were destined to be united as one being
Forever you're my favorite
You are my favorite and beloved for all of time
Forever I'm yours, forever I'm yours
I commit to loving and belonging to you for all of eternity
