Lyrics of
Perfect

Perfect by Ed Sheeran was inspired by his then-girlfriend and now wife, Cherry Seaborn. Sheeran stated he wanted to write a song that would be his version of Elton Johns Your Song. In an interview, he explained that the song was written quite quickly because he knew exactly what he wanted to say. It is part of his third studio album, รท (Divide), released in 2017.

I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in, and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
!--Pre-Chorus--
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
Darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
!--Chorus--
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight
!--Verse 2--
Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
!--Pre-Chorus--
We are still kids, but we're so in love, fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this ti-ime
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
!--Chorus--
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling you look perfect tonight
!--Interlude--
!--Chorus--
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met an angel
In person, and she looks perfect
!--Outro--
I don't deserve this, you look perfect tonight
