Album: Apple Music Live: Ed Sheeran

Track No: 20

I've gotta be honest, I'm super nervous about tonight
I've never played a whole album in full
With a band, the way it sounds exactly like it sounds on the record
I'm usually, "This is my live set, I'm on a loop pedal"
And it always sounds quite different to the record
And that's kind of the way that I like it
I like you listening to an album
And coming to a gig and then just hearing it re-imagined
But because you've never heard this album I'm about to play
We can kind of give it to you exactly the way that it is on the record
And you can– I can tell you the stories from it and blah, blah, blah
But, it's ah– yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be weird
'Cause, these stories are all real stories that happened in my life, and
I often find when you release music, the music then belongs to the public
So, the next song that I'm gonna play has been out for a while
I wrote it about my wife, but it now belongs to all of you
When you guys hear this song, you don't think
Aw, Ed's wife
You think about the person that you love
But the thing is, with the songs I'm about to play you is
They don't belong to you yet
They're gonna start belonging to you tonight
And, ah, well
I mean, one of them – 'Eyes Closed' – has been out for a couple of days
And it's been nice sort-of hearing the stories of that
But anyway, this is a song that I wrote back in 2015
That used to belong to me and now belongs to all of you
I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in
Follow my lead
Well, I found a girl
Beautiful and sweet
Well, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
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
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 lover
To carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, and we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this
Darling, you look perfect tonight
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
Well, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
