A música Perfect de Ed Sheeran foi inspirada pela sua então namorada e atual esposa, Cherry Seaborn. Sheeran disse que queria escrever uma canção que fosse sua versão de Your Song, de Elton John. Em uma entrevista, ele explicou que a música foi escrita realmente rapidamente porque ele sabia exatamente o que queria dizer. Ela faz parte do seu terceiro álbum de estúdio, ÷ (Divide), lançado em 2017.
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 ti-ime 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, listening to our favourite 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, fighting against all odds I know we'll be alright this ti-ime 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, listening to our favourite song When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful I don't deserve this, darling you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met an angel In person, and she looks perfect
