Lyrics and Chords

Intro:
A# A#/D | D#7M F

Verse 1:
      A#                        D#7M                F
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
      D7              D/F# Gm             F        D#
I've never seen you shine so bright... mm-mm... mm-mm...
      A#                    D#7M                     F
I've never seen so many men asking if you wanted to dance,
         D7            D/F#     Gm           A#7     D#
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance.

            Cm
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
        F7                                     Gm
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
              F
I have been blind.

Chorus:
     F7      A# D#     F            Gm
The lady in red    is dancing with me,
  F/A      Gm
Cheek to cheek.
                Cm   F7                    A#
There's nobody here,    it's just you and me,
                      A#7
It's where I want to be.
               D# D/F#         D          Gm  Gm/F Gm/E
But I hardly know      this beauty by my side,
               Cm7 F                     A# ->
I'll never forget    the way you look tonight.

Instrumental:
A# A#/D | D#7M

Verse 2:
      A#                        D#7M                  F
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
      D7              D/F# Gm               F     D#
I've never seen you shine so bright... You were amazing.
      A#                        D#7M                     F
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
      D7                D/F#    Gm                 A#7    D#
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away.

        Cm
I have never had such a feeling,
        F7                            Gm
Such a feeling of complete and utter love,
           F
As I do tonight.
Chorus:
     F7      A# D#     F            Gm
The lady in red    is dancing with me,
  F/A      Gm
Cheek to cheek.
                Cm   F7                    A#
There's nobody here,    it's just you and me,
                      A#7
It's where I want to be.
               D# D/F#         D          Gm  Gm/F Gm/E
But I hardly know      this beauty by my side,
               Cm7 F                     Gm   Gm/F Gm/E
I'll never forget    the way you look tonight,
                 Cm7     F7             A#
I never will forget the way you look tonight.
