The Girl - City and Colour

A sweet love song by City and Colour. A tribute to all those beautiful girls we all have in our lives (well at least for men). We all know that one girl we want to be with. That one girl that keeps eluding us but we never rest until we have her. That one girl we want to kiss, hold her hand, and whisper sweet nothings into her gentle ears. That one girl that makes all the small things become the greatest things we end up cherishing. Love isn’t just a thing or a concept, it’s an entire state of mind. While in love the world becomes such a kinder place. Every day ends up being a brighter day. While in love we start gathering a true appreciation for the small things in life. The small things that make the love between two individuals all the greater. The slight glances of romance, the infinitesimally subtle touches that are scintillating to the bone, the sweet sound of their voice that brings comfort, and the warmness of your partner’s embrace that warms your heart and makes you feel so much better. Those small instances where you look deep into your partner’s eyes and you feel a sense that everything is perfect as if that very moment were a beautiful painting forever frozen in time. City and Colours understands this state of love perfectly. In this sincere and heartfelt song, it talks about the true appreciation for that loved one that sticks with you through thick and thin and is always there for you. Love is not about diamond rings, fancy dates, or grandiose romance stories. Love is about one simple thing, feeling happy!

“But you don’t ask for no diamond rings
No delicate string of pearls
That’s why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl”
