Lyrics

I’ve

I’ve (Bb)nev er seen you look ing so love ly as you did to night,

I’ve (D7)nev er seen you (D7)shine so bright,

mm mm mm mm.

I’ve (Bb)nev er seen so ma ny men ask you if you want ed to dance,

they’re look ing for a lit tle ro mance,

giv en half

a chance,

and I have (Cm)nev er seen that dress you’re wear ing,

or the (F7)high lights in your hair

that catch your eyes,

I have been blind.

The (F)la dy in red

is (F)danc ing with me,

(F)cheek to cheek,

there’s no bo (Gm)dy here,

it’s just you and me,

it’s where I wan na be,

but I hard ly know

this beau ty by my side,

I’ll ne ver for get

the way you look to night.

I’ve

gor geous

you (Bb)were a maz ing.

peo ple to be there by your side,

and when you (D7)turned to me (D7)and smiled,

it took my a way, a chance,

had such a feel

such a (F7)feel ing of com plete and ut ter love,

as I do to night.

The (F)la dy in red

is (F)danc ing with me,

(F)cheek to cheek,

there’s no bo (Gm)dy here,

it’s just you and me,

it’s where I wan na be,

but I hard ly know

this beau ty by my side,

I’ll ne ver for get

the way you look to night.

I’ve way you look to night,

I nev er will for get

the (F7)way you look

to night.

The (F)la dy in red,

The (F)la dy in red,

my (F)la dy in (Bb)red.

About “The Lady In Red”

Why does the accompaniment for "The Lady In Red" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "The Lady In Red" by Chris de Burgh in?
The backing track is in Bb at 100 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "The Lady In Red" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "The Lady In Red"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "The Lady In Red", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "The Lady In Red" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
