Oh, how you sparkle
And oh, how you shine
That flush on your cheeks is more than the wine
And he must do something that I didn't do
Whatever he's doing
It looks good on you

You look so good in love
You want him
That's easy to see
You look so good in love
And I wish you still wanted me

He must have stolen some stars from the sky
And gave them to you to wear in your eyes
I had my chances
But I set you free
And now I wonder why I couldn't see

You look so good in love
You want him
That's easy to see
You look so good in love
And I wish you still wanted me

Darling, I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you
But tonight your beauty is shining through
And I never took the time to let you know
So before he takes you away
Please let me say

You look so good in love
You want him
That's easy to see
You look so good in love
And I wish you still wanted me

You look so good in love
