Verse 1:
      C                         Am                  G
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
                           Am          G   F
I've never seen you shine so bright, m m m m.
      C                     Am                        G
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
                                Am           G       F
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
            Dm  
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
        G                                      Am
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
   F          G
I have been blind,

Chorus:
             C  Em F     G            Am G           Am
The lady in red      is dancing with me,  cheek to cheek,
                F   G                   C  Em
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
                      C7
It's where I want to be,
               F  E                    Am  G F
But I hardly know   this beauty by my side,
               Dm G                     C    Am G  C Am G
I'll never forget   the way you look tonight.

Verse 2:
      C                         Am                    G
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
                           Am             G     F
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
      C                         Am                       G
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
                                Am                        F
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
            Dm               
And I have never had such a feeling,
        G                             Am         F    G
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight,

Chorus:
             C  Em F     G            Am G           Am
The lady in red      is dancing with me,  cheek to cheek,
                F   G                   C  Em
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
                      C7
It's where I want to be,
               F  E                    Am  G F
But I hardly know   this beauty by my side,
               Dm G                     C    Am G  
I'll never forget   the way you look tonight.
                 Dm G                     C    Am
I never will forget   the way you look tonight.
     G       C   Am
The lady in red,  
     G       C   Am
The lady in red,
     G       C   Am
The lady in red, 
    G       C
My lady in red,

I love you
