You’re the sweet dreams that soothe me
when I can’t fall asleep.
You’re the field
in the middle of the city.
When I’m rushing by
at the speed of light.

You’re the strong resolution
when I find no peace.
You’re the church bells ringing
in the evening.
When all is quiet,
Your whisper comfort
lifts my heart.
I get so weak.

Ohhh…. You’re lovely, lovely
You’re the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find…

Ohh… you’re lovely. (lovely)
You’re the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain,
you’re lovely.

You’re the soft words that touch me
when I just can’t speak.
You’re the breeze on the ocean
in the morning,
reminding me
to greet the day.

You’re the flowers I remember
seeing in Italy.
Colors through
a golden haze,
bright and radiant,
soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun,
it makes me sing.

Ohh… You’re lovely, lovely
You’re the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find…

Ohh… You’re lovely, lovely
You’re the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain
You’re lovely.

I understand…
There may be grief
and there may be pain.
But I am aware
You blind the darkness
with who You are
because…

Ohh… You’re lovely, lovely
You’re the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find…

Ohh… You’re lovely, lovely
You’re the center of my universe.
(my universe)
A million ways
cannot explain
You’re lovely.
