Baby, You Look Good To Me Tonight — текст песни (John Denver)

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the
Spirit album, and has also been released on the Country Classics
album.


I`ve been out on this highway now
Five days in a row
My words all run together
My feet are movin` slow
I`ve got to stop and eat
While it`s still light
There`s a local angel sitting on my right
Do you believe in love at first sight
Baby, you look good to me tonight

I`m ordinarily very shy
And I`d be polite if I had time
Baby, you look good to me tonight
Tomorrow, I`ll be good and gone
Please don`t make me wait that long
Baby, you look good to me tonight

“I get off at eleven,” she said
And walked away
She poured a cup of coffee and
She brought it on a tray
She said, “It would be nice if you could stay
You`re the best idea I`ve had all day
Usually I put up a fight but
Baby, you look good to me tonight.”

Well I`m ordinarily very shy
But I grinned at her as I ate my pie
Baby, you look good to me tonight
I thought I must be in a dream
When she asked me if I wanted cream
Baby, you look good to me tonight

All in all you know
It`s not a bad life on the road
If you`ve got wheels to roll
And lucky stars above
Your destiny`s your own
You go as far as you can go
And if there`s time to sleep
There`s time to make love

I came, I saw, I conquered
But I rode off in the sun
But I know the look she left with me
Keeps telling me she won
Her face is the only thing I see
Whispering those words of prophesy

“I may come easy, but I don`t come free
You`re never gonna see the last of me”
Baby, you look good to me tonight
I was born to love you now can`t you see
Baby, you look good to me tonight
I`m ordinarily very shy
But I take the time to satisfy
Baby, you look good to me tonight
