By Stevie Wonder from Songs in the Key of Life (1976)


(Chords at end of transcription)

          C#m7   F#9
Isn't she lovely
          B9       E
Isn't she wonder - ful
          C#m7   F#9
Isn't she precious
              B9     E
Less than one minute old
        Amaj7                     G#7
I never thought through love we'd be
       C#m7             F#9
Making one as lovely as she
              B9     B9        E
But isn't she lovely made from love

[Riff]

          C#m7   F#9
Isn't she pretty
          B9      E
Truly the angel's best
            C#m7   F#9
Boy, I'm so happy
             B9     E
We have been heaven blessed
        Amaj7                G#7
I can't believe what God has done
        C#m7                  F#9
Through us he's given life to one
              B9     B9        E
But isn't she lovely made from love


          C#m7   F#9
Isn't she lovely
          B9          E
Life and love are the same
        C#m7   F#9
Life is aisha
            B9     E
The meaning of her name
           Amaj7               G#7
Londie, it could have not been done
        C#m7                  F#9
Without you who conceived the one
               B9     B9        E
That's so very lovely made from love

[Riff]
