George Strait – You Look So Good in Love Lyrics

Oh how you sparkle, and oh how you shine.
That flush on your cheeks is more than the wine.
And he must do something that I didn’t do.
Whatever he’s doing, it looks good on you.

[Chorus:]
You look so good in love.
You want him, that’s easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.

He must have stolen some stars from the sky,
And gave them to you to wear in your eyes.
I had my chances, but I set you free.
And now I wonder why I couldn’t see.

[Chorus]

Darling I’ve wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you,
But tonight your beauty is shining through.
And I never took the time to let you know,
So before he takes you away please let me say.

[Chorus]

You look so good in love.
