今天開車時聽ICRT在播這首歌，覺得還不錯聽，但不知歌名與歌者 ( 算是孤陋寡聞吧！但台長實在沒在聽「新」歌。 )，還好有記得其中一句歌詞「kiss me slow」，回來搜尋了一下，很快就找到了，原來是英國歌手Ed Sheeran ( 紅髮艾德 ) 2017的歌曲《Perfect》。

2016，Ed Sheeran以一首《Thinking Out Loud》奪下兩座葛萊美獎項，但為了不希望就此被定位框住，期望自己可寫出超越該曲，且是歌唱生涯中百分百最棒的情歌，此首《Perfect》於焉誕生。此曲果然未負Ed的期望，2017年底，此曲不僅在美國告示牌及英國單曲排行榜拿下第一名，也是其他十幾個國家包含澳洲、加拿大、愛爾蘭及紐西蘭等國的冠軍曲。更不用說的是，此曲當然是賣翻了。

此歌曲的內容顯然是Ed在對他的女友Cherry Seaborn放閃，Ed和Cherry曾為高中同學，後Cherry赴美國唸大學，2015才又連繫上，倆人交往極為低調，鮮少在公開場合談論彼此的關係。2018，倆人在Ed的薩福克莊園辦理結婚儀式，只有親密的家人和朋友參與。想來此曲對Ed之前的求婚成功，應該助攻加分不少。

Ed Sheeran另有和美國女歌手Boyence ( 碧昂絲 ) 及義大利盲人歌手也是古典樂男高音的Andrea Bocelli ( 安德烈‧波伽利 ) 合唱的版本，為了有所區分，歌名分別為《Perfect Duet》和《Perfect Symphony》。有歌迷認為，此曲頗適合作為「婚禮歌曲」，當然，還是要看新人自己喜不喜歡了。

奇怪，Ed Sheeran的這兩首歌，為何都是在車上聽到的？哈哈，是因為只有開車時才有在聽收音機。

I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
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, we're listenin' to our favorite 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 love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fightin' 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, listenin' to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Oh, no, no
Mm
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
No, I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
