"Lovely"

Music and Lyrics by Danny Surico

Arranged by The Future Laureates


Jon Drake and the Shakes are shaking Beat Kitchen tonight.

You showed up looking so lovely, always looking so lovely.

I’ve made my share of mistakes. Now, I’m toeing the line

Between self-destructing and making you mine.



You’ve got me loving life again. All of a sudden I am in. I’m in.

So while you’re looking so lovely, won’t you tell me you love me? Love me.



I’ve loved and I’ve lost and been burned like a bridge to the ground.

I can tell you there’s something. Deep down, there is something

Within me wondering why this lingering doubt

Concedes to the feeling I’m rediscovering now.



You’ve got me loving life again. All of a sudden I am in. I’m in.

So while you’re looking so lovely, won’t you tell me you love me?

I could redefine the word love so it’s not a think I’m scared of,

But that accomplishes nothing if I don’t tell you this one thing.



One thing I know for sure: I’ve cast aside my pride.

I’m feeling insecure by making my case known

Before you close the door. My feet have left the floor. I’m yours.

I say, “Amen.” Ooh, honey, I am in, and you look so lovely.

Won’t you tell me you love me?



You’ve got me loving life again. All of a sudden I am in. I’m in.

So while you’re looking so lovely, won’t you tell me you love me?

We could redefine the word love to a meaning we could learn from.

We could grow into something and be regretful of nothing.
