Babe, this is the happiest day of my life,
The day when I carried you over the threshold and made you my wife.
Held your hand as we walked to bed, stair by stair,
In the twilight, the magic of you is everywhere.
Chorus
As the candle - glow dimmers, it’s you who shimmers,
In the candlelight, your lipstick glimmers.
Shimmerin’, glimmerin’, that is you,
No - one quite sparkles remarkably, like you do.
Find a quiet spot, where no - one else can go.
Turn the lights down low, make the music slow,
By my side, your shadow starts to glow.
Then, as we start to undress, never felt such happiness,
It’s ‘cos of your amazing beauty, I guess.
Chorus
As the two of us rock the bed,
Even the curtains are shimmering,
Thank God we are wed.
Wishing we were on a desert island, instead,
Where, in the bay, there waves would be shimmerin’, glimmerin’ on the sea -
bed.
Chorus
Then, in the morning, when the dawn begins to break,
Your eyes start shimmerin’ and glimmerin’, as we slowly start to wake.
Havin’ as much fun, as a couple can possibly make,
Look from the window, and there’s shimmerin’ and glimmerin’ on the lake.
Chorus
Shimmerin’, glimmerin’, flimsy and flimmerin’,
Trying hard to be a saint, but I begin sinning again,
Feeling the heat, the Sun makes everythin’ simmerin’ (repeat to fade)
