Perfect Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I found a love for me

Oh, darlin', just dive right in and follow my lead

Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet

Oh, I never knew you were the someone waitin' for me

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowin' what it was

I will not give you up this time

But, darlin', just kiss me slow

Your heart is all I own

And in your eyes, you're holdin' mine

[Chorus]

Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass while listenin' to our favourite song

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, "Darlin', you look perfect tonight"

[Verse 2]

Well, I found a woman stronger than anyone I know

She shares my dreams, I hope that, someday, I'll share her home

I found a love to carry more than just my secrets

To carry love, to carry children of our own

[Pre-Chorus]

We are still kids, but we're so in love

Fightin' against all odds

I know we'll be alright this time

Darlin', just hold my hand

Be my girl, I'll be your man

I see my future in your eyes

[Chorus]

Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass while listenin' to our favourite song

When I saw you in that dress, lookin' so beautiful

I don't deserve this, darlin', you look perfect tonight

[Bridge]

No, no, no

Mm, no, no

[Chorus]

Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms

We're barefoot on the grass, oh, listenin' to our favourite song

I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met

An angel in person and she looks perfect

I don't deserve this, you look perfect tonight
