Chris DeBurgh – Lady In Red

Chris DeBurgh

An art rocker who occasionally writes pop-oriented material, Chris de Burgh has never been as popular in his native Britain or the United States as he was in other areas of the world. In America, he’s only managed two Top 40 hits — 1983′s “Don’t Pay the Ferryman” (number 34) and the number three ballad “The Lady in Red” (1986). In Britain, he’s had the same number of Top 40 singles — “The Lady in Red” was a number one hit and “Missing You” peaked at number three — yet he’s had a number of minor hits. Nevertheless, he has gained an astounding popularity in other countries, particularly Norway and Brazil.

I’ve never seen you looking so lovely
as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you
shine so bright
I’ve never seen so many men
ask you if you wanted to dance
They’re looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you’re wearing
Or the highlights in your
head that catch your eyes
I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing
with me cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here,
it’s just you and me,
It’s where I wanna be
But I hardly know this
beauty by my side
I’ll never for get,
the way you look tonight

I’ve never seen you looking
so gorgeous as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine
so bright you were amazing
I’ve never seen so many people
want to be there by your side
And when you turned to
me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete
and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red
(I love you)
