In 1987, The LA Times said this was the reason the song “Lady in Red” resonated with the masses…

The feeling of complete and utter love…

Who doesn’t want that?

Lyrics

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,

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

Talk about attention to detail!

He soaked up every little thing about the moment and took the time to say it to her.

He even went so far as to say that up until then, he “had been blind”.

But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

After expressing his adoration for her, he then confirms his commitment to never forget it.

This is so simple, but so many people do not do this with their sweethearts.

Lyrics

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,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;

The story-telling here is interesting. He paints the picture that she is stunningly beautiful and everyone is drawn to her.

She then gives him her smile.

That moment between them was the “feeling of complete and utter love”.

To be chosen, to be singled-out, in a moment where everyone wants to be a part of her energy. This makes him feel like a billion bucks! She gave this to him, and he shared the story of her giving this to him and imagine how that makes her feel!

How can we single-out and choose our sweetheart?

How often do we give a look and smile that penetrates, and lets them know we choose them?

The Lady In Red, my lady in red,

I love you.

The whispered, “I love you” at the end…the perfect ending to the song. He already expressed love to her throughout this song, but the simple statement is a mic-drop ending.

Who doesn’t want to be slow dancing to this song and have your sweetheart squeeze you during that moment?

Think about this…

What is the best compliment you’ve received?

How did it make you feel?

What is your favorite compliment you’ve given to your sweetheart?

Will you give your sweetheart that look, that smile, and that compliment today?

Key Takeaways

• Take in the details of why you love, enjoy, and are attracted to your sweetheart.
