John Denver Lyrics: Baby, You Look Good To Me Tonight Lyrics

John Denver - Baby, You Look Good To Me Tonight

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
