So Beautiful - Chris de Burgh

 I need more than 12 years to find this song. I heard this song for the first time at Radio Wijaya. I remembered the radio had a program called "ngetext- yuk". It's a program when the DJ read out loud the lyrics to be written down by the listener. Then she would play the songs. Of course internet was rare at that time, so many listeners wanted to get the lyrics of their favorite songs. The program was on every Friday evening at about 9 p.m. or 10 p.m.

I remember very well that I wrote the lyrics in a nite book at that time. And I wasn't sure how but I missed the info about the singer. So I barely knew the title too. As i remember i just need few times to memorize the lyrics. I found out that this song is very beautiful, just like the title and the lyrics itself. I always love the melody which is simple and soothing. I also like how the song gives a soulful feeling about love. I think it's just a perfect combination of nice melody, nice vocal, and nice lyrics. Definitely this song is the best love song I like.

I do need more that 12 years to find this song. In fact i found this song two days ago. I tried to searched this song in some song download sites, but there was no result. It's because i don't know the singer, so i couldn't put a specific file name in the search box. I remembered i did the same thing to yahoo and google search engine but again there was no result.

Then few days ago accidentally i typed on the lyrics to google, and within seconds i got many results. The youtube helps the most. For sure years and years ago there's no youtube, so the internet search now is getting more sophisticated. I just knew too that Chris de Burgh sang this song. Apparently he sang many love songs, i will go search and listen to more of his masterpiece.

I'm lying here tonight
Thinking of the days we've had
Wondering if the world
Would be so beautiful

If I had not looked into your eyes
How did you know that I've been waiting?
Never knew the world
Would be so beautiful at all

I'm spending all the days dreaming of the nights we've had
I never knew that love would be a miracle
When I think of all the ones before
But now that I've found you, I am flying

I never knew that love
Would be so beautiful to me
I never knew that love
Would be so beautiful to me

And then we danced to the rhythm
That is burning like a flame
And when you touch me, I can hardly move
You take my breath away

You give me all that I want to feel when
We become as one and then you take me
To the heaven of your heart, did nobody
Ever tell you you're the best thing that has ever been?

Ahh, ahh, ahh, you are so beautiful
Ahh, ahh, ahh, so beautiful

I'm standing here tonight
Thinking of the times we'll have
I never knew that you
Would be so beautiful

From the day you came into my life
I just want to say, you make me happy
Never knew that you
Would be so beautiful to me

I never knew that you
Would be so beautiful to me

So beautiful to me
So beautiful to me
So beautiful to me, to me

I'm lying here tonight
I'm dreaming here tonight
I dance with you tonight

The post and especially the song is dedicated to my love, Jeroen. May the feeling we have bounds us always and lead us to the holy matrimony
