Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say "I love you"
Let me hold you in my arms forevermore

You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And, oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song?

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever, let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes, I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh, yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know
You're the love of my life
You're my lady

    The songwriter is taking great risk: putting his everything in her. What if she doesn't feel the same? No risk no reward. Love is only for those willing to put it all on the line.

    A gorgeous song. I concur. What lady doesn't want to hear this from her man? Lionel Richie, Jr. wrote a great love song, and Kenny did wonders with his voice.

    This is one of the sweetest songs... And like UTlonghorn said, I would love for a guy to sing this to me one day... "Lady, your love's the only love I need And beside me is where I want you to be 'cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know You're the love of my life, you're my lady"

    one of the most romantic songs that i've ever heard... wow. This is purely breath-taking. I love the way he sings it - his passion, need and longing for the love of his life. What a dreamy song! This would be an amazing song at a wedding or an anniversary celebration. So yeah.. lionel richie actually wrote this song and gave it to kenny - amazing. I love lionel very much. Yeah i totally love the tune of this song - i can play it on piano.. the tune sounds a bit mysterious, its incredible. I love the words, oh just everything about this song!!!! its a timeless classic xox

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
